Russian forces struck Nova Poshta warehouse facilities in the Kyiv region early Friday, Aug. 28, then hit the same site twice more as firefighters were battling the resulting blaze, local authorities said. The initial strike targeted warehouses in the Bilohorodka community, damaging a nearby production facility in Sviatopetrivske, according to Anton Ovsiienko, head of the Bilohorodka village council.JOIN US ON TELEGRAMFollow our coverage of the war on the @Kyivpost_official. Nearly an hour later, while emergency crews were still fighting the fire, Russian forces launched two more strikes at the same location. Firefighters and other specialists managed to move to a safer area before the additional impacts, Ovsiienko said. Ukraine’s State Emergency Service, local firefighters, police and municipal crews were working at the site. Ovsiienko urged residents to stay away from the area because of the threat of further strikes. Heavy smoke prompted authorities to advise residents of Sviatopetrivske and surrounding areas to close their windows and avoid going outside unless necessary. Traffic was also temporarily restricted on parts of Kyivska Street toward Boyarka, as well as sections of Industrialna and Chornovola streets.
