Baykar production facility in Kyiv under fire – source

On the night of August 28, russian troops struck the production facilities of the Turkish company Baykar in Kyiv.

Ihor Zinkevych, the co-founder of the Varta-1 public organization and a member of the Lviv City Council, has reported this on X.

According to him, this is the fourth attack on the enterprise in the past six months. "Two hits were recorded - the production facilities suffered serious damage. Despite the war and previous attacks, the company continued to invest tens of millions of its own funds, train personnel and prepare production. Most of the facilities were almost ready, the main personnel completed training," the Zinkevych noted.

The X-account Clash Report published a video from surveillance cameras, where explosions and smoke are visible on the roof of the building, which is called the Baykar plant. A render from the presentation of the future production was also published, which visually coincides with the place of the hit.

Baykar has not yet officially commented on the situation.

At the same time, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, during a conversation with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, mentioned a Turkish enterprise that was damaged as a result of the russian attack.

"There were attacks on a Turkish enterprise, on the Azerbaijani embassy, ​​the European Union mission, the British Council, on residential areas. This is [Russian leader Vladimir] Putin's response to all attempts by Ukraine, the United States, and our European partners to stop the killings. That is why pressure is needed - sanctions, tariffs, political pressure. We are counting on strong steps," Zelenskyy said.

However, Zelenskyy did not specify which enterprise he was talking about.

As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, the building of the EU mission was damaged due to a russian attack.

The office of Ukrainska Pravda also suffered damage due to a russian missile attack on Kyiv.

On the night of August 28, russian invaders launched a combined strike on Kyiv. Significant damage was recorded in 7 districts of the city.

In addition, in Kyiv, the dismantling of the rubble after the night attack continues: rescuers keep finding fragments of bodies.
