Russia launched ballistic missile strikes on two facilities in the Poltava region, causing a fire

Russian troops launched a ballistic missile strike on industrial facilities in the Kremenchuk District of Poltava Oblast. The attack caused fires at two sites.

According to the head of the Poltava Regional State Administration, two industrial facilities in the Kremenchuk district were damaged during the attack.

Fires broke out at both sites following the strikes.

At one of the facilities, State Emergency Service (SES) firefighters extinguished the fire overnight.

At the second facility, due to the threat of repeated Russian strikes, State Emergency Service units were unable to safely begin firefighting operations for some time. Subsequently, rescue workers began their work and fully extinguished the fire.

In addition to the missile strike on the Kremenchuk district, Russian drones attacked an industrial facility in the Myrhorod district.

According to preliminary information, there were no fatalities or injuries as a result of the attacks.

At the same time, the consequences of the strikes and the extent of damage to industrial facilities are being assessed.

This was reported by Vitaliy Dyakivnych, head of the Poltava Regional State Administration, on Facebook.

In Izium, Kharkiv Oblast, five people were injured as a result of a Russian airstrike. The enemy also damaged at least 15 residential buildings.

Since the evening of August 16, the Russian army has attacked four districts of the Dnipropetrovsk region nearly 20 times. Five people were wounded as a result of the enemy strikes.

In Kherson, power outages occurred as a result of yet another round of Russian shelling.
