A whole day under attack: an enterprise burned in the Bucha district and houses in another village

A fire broke out at an enterprise in the Bucha district during an enemy attack on Monday, 21 September, and in another settlement of the district two private houses, four cars and warehouse premises were damaged. No information about casualties has been reported.

The head of the Kyiv Regional Military Administration, Tymur Tkachenko, reported this.

State Emergency Service crews and equipment were sent to put out the fire. Where exactly in the district the enterprise was burning and which settlement was damaged, the administration did not specify — such reports usually omit addresses for security reasons.

How the day went in the district

That fire was not the first of the day. In the morning rescuers put out a blaze at a vehicle service station in the Bucha district, and in the Fastiv district a sawmill building burned the same morning — nobody was hurt then either.

In the evening the State Emergency Service summed up the day: the enemy attacked the region’s communities non-stop, one person was injured in the Obukhiv district, and crews put out fires in three residential houses plus one more in the Bucha district. Again without casualties.

What to do during an alert

A drone threat for the district is announced as a yellow level, a missile threat as red. In the first case the siren means shelter or the “two walls” rule away from windows; in the second, an immediate move to a shelter. Since attacks became a daily routine, these levels set the working mode not only for businesses but also for hospitals: this week the government approved separate rules for medical facilities.

As a reminder, the day before a drone damaged a car in the Bucha district, and on Thursday two men sustained shrapnel wounds.
