In the Darnytskyi district of Kyiv, in close proximity to a multi-story residential building, specialists conducted a complex operation to remove a rocket warhead. The dangerous item was discovered the day after a large-scale night attack carried out by Russian forces.

### Evacuation and cordon

The signal about the discovery of an explosive device was received by the police from residents of one of the buildings. Police officers from the district department, who arrived promptly at the scene, immediately began ensuring safety. Evacuation of residents from the nearby building was organized, and the area around the find was cordoned off to prevent access by unauthorized persons.

Until the arrival of specialized experts, police officers guarded the scene, preventing civilians from entering the dangerous zone.

### Work of bomb disposal experts and rescuers

To carry out the work on neutralizing and removing the ammunition, the bomb disposal service of the capital's main police department was involved. Rescuers from the State Emergency Service (SES) also participated in the operation.

According to reports, the rocket warhead was in the ground. Specialists carefully dug out the dangerous item, ensuring maximum caution at every stage of the work. After extraction, the ammunition was transported to a specialized range for further destruction.

### Consequences of the night attack

The presence of the warhead was a direct consequence of a missile strike launched in the night of June 28. At that time, Russian forces launched several ballistic rockets towards the capital of Ukraine. Powerful explosions were heard in the city, and fires were recorded at several addresses in the Darnytskyi district.

As a result of the attack, both residential and non-residential objects were damaged. In particular, a fire engulfed an auto repair shop building and a non-residential structure. A fire also broke out directly next to a residential building. One person was injured during the night events.

### Recommendations for the population

The Kyiv police urge citizens to be extremely vigilant. In case of discovery of suspicious or explosive items, it is strictly recommended not to approach them or attempt to move them. Any findings must be reported immediately to emergency services numbers — 101 or 102.
