The strike also ignited fires in a parking lot, burning four trucks and one car. Falling debris set fire to a car dealership, damaging five vehicles. Firefighters have since extinguished the blazes.
The National Police reported further damage, including destruction of an administrative building, two gas stations, a service station, and multiple vehicles – 8 trucks, 11 cars, and a bus.
Authorities said two men were wounded. A 61-year-old man received medical aid but refused hospitalization, while a 37-year-old man was taken to the hospital with multiple injuries.
Brovary Mayor Ihor Sapozhko confirmed that Russian drone debris damaged several industrial and private properties. Fires broke out in four locations, and emergency services worked quickly to contain them.
The drone assault on Kyiv was part of a broader wave of Russian strikes. Earlier in the night, drones hit Kharkiv, where officials reported at least four people dead and 32 injured. The Zaporizhzhia region was also targeted, with fires breaking out in non-residential buildings after the attack.
Rescue teams and emergency services continue to assess the damage and assist those affected.
