On the morning of August 29, immediately after the overnight attack, Russian forces delivered a second strike on Kyiv Oblast. According to RBC-Ukraine, citing the State Emergency Service (SES) and the company's press office, the second strike damaged one of the warehouses of the "Agromat" building materials retail chain. Since early morning, rescuers have been working at several locations and combating large-scale fires that broke out at logistics facilities.
Second Strike After the Overnight Attack
As emergency services report, following the overnight strike, the enemy delivered a second one, resulting in fires at logistics facilities. Currently, SES forces are deployed at several sites simultaneously and are working to extinguish the large-scale blazes. Thick plumes of black smoke and open flames engulfing warehouse and logistics structures have been recorded at the scene.
"Everyone Is Alive": Statement from Agromat
The press office of the "Agromat" chain confirmed that "this morning, as a result of a direct enemy hit, one of our warehouses in Kyiv Oblast sustained significant damage." The company emphasized: "The most important thing is the people. Everyone is alive, no one from our team was injured." The company is now assessing the scale of the damage and restructuring its operations; due to the situation, delays in fulfilling certain orders are possible.
Chronology of Strikes and Clarification of Figures
It is important to distinguish between two events. On the evening of August 28, as a result of a Russian attack in the Bucha district of Kyiv Oblast, a fire broke out in warehouse premises, accompanied by explosions and subsequent detonations; according to available data, 27 people have been killed and more than 40 injured. It is to this incident that the cited figure of casualties refers, and not to the morning strike of August 29 on the "Agromat" warehouse, where, according to the company's statement, there are no casualties. Due to the large-scale fire, traffic for all vehicles was temporarily closed on a section of the M-06 "Kyiv — Chop" highway from the 15th to the 32nd kilometer.
Response of Authorities and Investigation
Ukrainian Prime Minister Serhiy Hordiienko has already reacted to the enemy strike, stating that the recent tragedy in Vyshneve "did not serve as a lesson" — thereby essentially indicating the possibility that the Russians may have attacked a military convoy in the village of Myla. The prosecutor's office has launched an investigation in the Bucha district, where a detonation occurred on the territory of an enterprise after the Russian strike; in particular, the legality of the storage of explosive items will be reviewed.
