Part of Korolyov Avenue in Kyiv was closed following a Russian attack
In Kyiv, following a Russian attack overnight on July 16, traffic was temporarily restricted on a section of Akademika Korolyova Avenue. This was due to cleanup efforts following the shelling.
According to Oleksiy Biloshitsky, first deputy chief of the Patrol Police Department, traffic has been blocked on Akademika Korolyova Avenue between Pshenychna Street and the intersection with Ivana Dzyuba Street.
The Patrol Police urged drivers to take these temporary restrictions into account when planning their routes and to choose detours whenever possible.
Biloshitsky announced this on Telegram.
As a reminder, on the night of July 16, Russian terrorists fired ballistic missiles at Kyiv, resulting in fires at warehouses and non-residential buildings in two districts of the capital. There are also reports of casualties and injuries.
