The most significant incident occurred in the Boryspil district, east of Kyiv, where a drone strike sparked a major fire at an infrastructure facility. Firefighters battled flames covering around 2,000 square metres as thick smoke rose above the site. Images released by emergency services showed crews deploying large quantities of firefighting foam to contain the blaze.
