Rescue workers have completely extinguished a large-scale fire in the Kyiv region that broke out as a result of Russian shelling of a critical infrastructure facility.

Units of the State Emergency Service from the Kyiv region and the capital, rescuers from the State Emergency Service’s combined task force, the local fire department, the fire service of Boryspil International Airport, and three fire trains.
Thanks to the joint efforts of all services, the fire was completely extinguished, despite difficult working conditions and the threat of renewed attacks by Russian forces.
According to the State Emergency Service, the fire covered an area of 4,000 square meters.
On the night of July 11, Russian forces launched another attack on Kyiv.
On the night of July 11, Russian forces carried out a massive combined attack on Ukraine, using ballistic missiles, air-launched missiles, and over a hundred attack drones.
