In the early hours of July 11, Russian forces struck a critical infrastructure target in Kyiv region, igniting a massive fire covering 4,000 square meters. Ukraine's State Emergency Service reported that firefighters anticipated repeated shelling of the site but managed to fully extinguish the blaze by morning.

To contain the flames, three fire trains were deployed in addition to units from the State Emergency Service and Boryspil airport's fire department—an unusual measure for such incidents.

According to Ukraine's Air Force, the attack involved 6 Iskander-M/S-400 ballistic missiles, 4 Kh-59/69 cruise missiles, 2 Kh-31 anti-radiation missiles, and 121 drones.
