Fire breaks out on roof of high-rise building in Kyiv's Obolon district due to fall of UAV debris

In the Obolon district of the capital, rescue workers extinguished a fire that broke out on the roof of a residential building after debris from a russian drone fell on it. Mayor Vitali Klitschko reported on the consequences of the enemy shelling that occurred on the night of May 11.

According to updated information, the fire engulfed the roof of the technical floor of the 16-story building. State Emergency Service personnel managed to quickly bring the blaze under control and prevent the fire from spreading significantly. Aside from the damaged roof, there was no other damage to the building.

The main outcome of the emergency services’ response was that no one was injured as a result of the incident.

"No one has sought medical assistance so far," the mayor concluded.

Operational units continue to work at the scene to document the aftermath of the attack. The capital has once again come under fire from barrage munitions, which the enemy is using to terrorize residential neighborhoods.

As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, on the night of May 12, russian invaders carried out another drone attack on the Kyiv Region, targeting civilian infrastructure and residential neighborhoods.

Zelenskyy reported yesterday that russia, the aggressor nation, does not want to end the war against Ukraine and is preparing for new attacks.
