Russian strike on Kyiv region building kills 3, wounds 6

A Russian strike hit a production and warehouse building in the Obukhiv district of Kyiv region overnight into Tuesday, killing 3 people and wounding 6, said in a post on Telegram.
Russian forces struck the building, which was used for both manufacturing and storage, in the early hours, the service said. It did not identify which community in Obukhiv district was hit.
A fire broke out in the building after the strike and was later extinguished, the State Emergency Service said. Rescue crews continued clearing rubble from the site, and psychologists from the service were sent to support those affected, it added.
The three who died were a man and two women, Kyiv region governor Tymur Tkachenko said. Rescue workers found their bodies while clearing the rubble, he said. "No words can ease the pain of losing loved ones," Tkachenko said, offering condolences to the families of those killed, according to Ukrainska Pravda.

The toll rose to three dead once rescue workers finished searching the site, Ukrainska Pravda reported. The Danish newspaper B.T. said the Reuters news agency had also carried the report early on Tuesday.

The attacks came a day after a Russian drone struck a park in Kharkiv, killing six people, including three children. Families take their children to the park to play, Ukraine's interior minister Ivan Vyhivskyi said, according to in.gr.
