On the night of October 3, Russian occupiers launched an attack on Gostomel in the Kyiv region. Four people were injured in the shelling, including a child.

“Four people, including a child, were injured as a result of the Russian shelling in the village of Gostomel,” rescue workers said.

The State Emergency Service also reported that overnight, rescue workers extinguished fires at two warehouses in the Bucha district that broke out as a result of the Russian attack.

Currently, debris is being cleared and structures are being doused with water at the sites of the incidents.

Timur Tkachenko, head of the Kyiv Regional State Administration, clarified that two people sustained minor injuries.

“The man suffered burns to his head, and the woman sustained a contusion to her left knee and an acute stress reaction,” Tkachenko said.

According to him, there were no fatalities as a result of the attack.

Thus, following the nighttime strike on Hostomel, four people are known to have been injured—including a child—and damage and fires have been reported at warehouse facilities in the Bucha district.

This was reported by the State Emergency Service.
