A house in the Boryspil district was also damaged.

Grassland areas caught fire in four districts - Obukhiv, Boryspil, Fastiv and Bucha.

The fires have already been extinguished. It was reported earlier that as a result of the Russian attack on Kyiv Oblast, nine houses in the Bucha district had been damaged and a 60-year-old man injured, suffering injuries to both lower limbs. Background:

• On 18 March, the Kremlin said that Russian ruler Vladimir Putin had supported US President Donald Trump's proposal for Ukraine and Russia to mutually refuse to strike energy infrastructure for 30 days, "issuing the relevant order to the Russian military".
• However, Russia launched a large-scale attack with kamikaze drones on Ukraine on the night of 18-19 March, hitting civilian infrastructure in several regions of Ukraine.

  In particular, there was a direct strike on a hospital in Sumy and strikes on towns in Donetsk Oblast.
