The village of Lisne in the Bucha district was attacked by russian strike drones. Two private houses caught fire after the hits, and crews of the State Emergency Service put out the flames. Both fires have been extinguished.

This was reported by the State Emergency Service of the Kyiv region.

Five homes and three cars

Besides the two houses that burned, several more were damaged — five residential buildings in total. Three cars were also hit. Photographs from the scene show a homestead reduced to a sagging roof above the ashes, and heaps of broken cinder block along the street where fire hoses were still running.

Two people were killed and one more was injured. The service did not release the names or ages of those who died. The injured person received medical aid at the scene.

"The enemy does not stop its attacks"

The following day the losses were confirmed by the Bucha district state administration. It gave the same figures — two dead, one injured, five damaged houses and three cars — and offered condolences to the families.

The enemy does not stop its attacks and continues to strike with unmanned aerial vehicles. Given the constant threat, I once again urge residents of the district to follow safety rules during air raid alerts.

This is the second strike on the Bucha district in two days. The morning before, a warehouse building caught fire in the district — that time there were no casualties.

The consequences of another wave in the district have still not been cleared: in nearby Myla the work has been running for a second week. It was after those events that the district administration admitted people lack not so much equipment as a clear set of instructions, and ordered a single checklist of assistance after enemy attacks to be drawn up for the Kyiv region.

It is meant to be a simple algorithm: where to turn immediately, where to obtain building materials, what payments one can count on and who is responsible for each issue. Such a list is to be handed out directly at strike sites, so that a victim does not have to look for help alone.

Earlier we reported that an attack on the Bucha district set warehouse premises on fire.
