The State Emergency Service of Ukraine stressed that "the Russians continue their merciless terror of the Kyiv region and Kyiv: for the second day in a row, the air-raid alert has practically not subsided in the region."
"Unfortunately, because of their heightened interest in the firefighting process, people are neglecting safety rules. As a result, there are already civilians injured and killed in areas where the aftermath is still being cleared! Be extremely careful! Do not enter areas where the aftermath of shelling is being cleared, and do not leave shelters or safe places unless absolutely necessary! The enemy is merciless — starting with the first strike during the night of August 27, the region has already suffered 38 enemy attacks!" - the State Emergency Service stated.
As noted, rescuers are working in extremely difficult conditions. Since they began their work, the air-raid alert has sounded 20 times. Firefighters have been forced to constantly interrupt firefighting, move to shelters because of the threat of repeated strikes, and then return to battling the flames.
"The situation remains extremely tense. Take care of yourselves!" - the State Emergency Service emphasized.
