Russian forces struck Bila Tserkva in the Kyiv Oblast during the night of 2 September, killing one person and causing significant damage to industrial facilities, according to Kyiv Regional Military Administration head Mykola Kalashnyk and Ukraine’s State Emergency Service.

The attack damaged warehouses and a three-story building at an enterprise, sparking fires at the facility. A garage cooperative also caught fire during the bombardment.

“During the firefighting operation, rescuers discovered the body of a deceased man,” the State Emergency Service reported. At another location, emergency responders extinguished fires in three buildings.

Russian forces also targeted Sumy the same night. Regional military administration head Oleh Hryhorov reported that the attack caused a large-scale fire in the city.

“The Russian forces hit non-residential buildings in the Zarichny district of the city,” Hryhorov said. No casualties were reported from the Sumy attack. Authorities are still determining the full extent of the damage.

The nighttime assault was part of a broader attack involving 150 Shahed-type strike drones and various decoy drones launched against Ukraine, according to the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Russian forces launched the unmanned aircraft from Kursk, Bryansk, Millerovo, Primorsko-Akhtarsk, and Cape Chauda in temporarily occupied Crimea.

Ukraine’s air defenses neutralized 120 targets during the attack. Aviation, anti-aircraft missile forces, electronic warfare units, unmanned systems, and mobile fire groups participated in repelling the air assault.

Military officials recorded impacts from 30 strike drones at nine locations, with debris from destroyed targets falling at five additional locations across northern, southern, eastern and central regions of the country.
