Russian Strike on Kyiv Region Injures Family of Five, Including Three Children

Five people, including three children, were injured in a Russian morning attack on the Fastiv district of Ukraine’s Kyiv region.

According to Kyiv Regional Military Administration head Tymur Tkachenko, all three children were hospitalized after suffering acoustic trauma and acute stress reactions. Two adults were also injured in the attack.

“The children were diagnosed with acoustic trauma and acute stress reactions. All three were hospitalized. Among the adults, a woman suffered an acute stress reaction. A man sustained thermal burns, a shrapnel wound, and a cut to his foot. He was also hospitalized,” Tkachenko said.

The attack also caused damage to residential property in the district. Tkachenko said one private house was destroyed and another was damaged, while a vehicle was also affected.

The State Emergency Service later clarified that all five people injured in the attack were members of the same family.

Emergency crews were deployed to the site to deal with the aftermath of the strike, with firefighters extinguishing a fire caused by the attack.

“Rescuers continue to work at the scene. The fire has now been extinguished,” the SES said.

The attack in the Fastiv district came a day after another Russian strike targeted the Kyiv region, including the Ukrainian capital. Russian forces carried out an overnight missile attack on Kyiv on September 17, injuring 20 people, including two children, and damaging buildings and infrastructure across several districts.

Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko reported that five of those injured were hospitalized in city medical facilities.
