Prime Minister condemns criminal negligence The crisis began late Friday evening, Aug. 28, when a Russian drone struck an enterprise near the Kyiv-Chop highway at approximately 8:10 p.m local time. The strike triggered a massive fire and secondary detonations of materials stored at the facility. The scale of the explosions forced the National Police to completely close sections of the M-06 Kyiv-Chop highway in both directions. Prime Minister Serhiy Koretskyi issued a condemnation of the incident, demanding strict accountability for those responsible. He stated that a similar recent tragedy involving a massive detonation at a weapons depot in Vyshneve “did not serve as a lesson.”
