**Deck**: Russian jet-powered Geran-4 drones hit at least eight warehouse facilities in Kyiv City and Kyiv Oblast overnight, sparking large fires at logistics and postal sites including Nova Poshta hubs and complexes in Brovary, Boryspil and Sviatopetrivske.

Large fires at logistics hubs around Kyiv show how deeply Russia’s drone campaign now reaches into Ukraine’s rear-area economy.

During the evening of 27 August and into the early hours of 28 August, Russian forces used jet-powered Geran-4 drones to strike at least eight warehouse facilities in Kyiv City and Kyiv Oblast, according to open-source reporting. Confirmed targets included the TLC Brovary complex operated by Raben Ukraine, a logistics complex in Vyshneve, and multiple sites in the Boryspil area and southwest of Kyiv.

In Kyiv Oblast’s Bilohorodka community, local head Ovsienko said an attack on Sviatopetrivske hit Nova Poshta warehouses and damaged a nearby production facility. Nova Poshta facilities were also hit elsewhere during the same mass overnight attack, with the company stating that sorting centers in Sumy and Kyiv regions were destroyed.

Strikes on the southwestern outskirts of Kyiv were located at warehouse sites near Sviatopetrivske, including facilities at coordinates 50.370963, 30.319242 and 50.368330, 30.319452. Additional coordinates around 50.3712, 30.322 and 50.3711, 30.3191 also corresponded to badly damaged warehouses in the same cluster.

In Brovary district, the TLC Brovary logistics center at 50.557976, 30.855006 was hit, while a separate logistics complex in Vyshneve at 50.386392, 30.344996 also came under attack. At least five different warehouses in the Boryspil area were struck, along with another unidentified facility in the Brovary area and two more southwest of Kyiv, according to local reporting.

Across these locations, observers reported large fires and massive plumes of smoke. NASA’s FIRMS satellite fire-detection system showed fire anomalies over Sviatopetrivske, indicating a significant blaze at the warehouse cluster there. Footage from Sviatopetrivske depicted extensive damage to storage buildings and burning debris.

The attacks form part of a broader campaign against Ukrainian transport and logistics infrastructure in the Kyiv region. Russian forces have repeatedly used Geran-4 drones to target warehouses, logistics parks and industrial facilities, seeking to disrupt storage and distribution networks that support both civilian life and the wider war effort.

The scale and coordination of the latest strikes suggest a deliberate focus on key nodes such as postal sorting centers, commercial logistics platforms and warehouse belts around major road corridors. For businesses and transport operators, these hubs are essential to moving goods through central Ukraine; for Russia, they present concentrated targets that can be hit from long range.

Ukrainian air defenses remained active on the morning of 28 August, with reports that around 10 hostile drones were still in the country’s airspace and that interceptions and electronic suppression were ongoing. Earlier, Ukraine’s military reported that 137 out of 164 attacking drones had been shot down or suppressed nationwide, underscoring both the intensity of the strike wave and the challenge of fully protecting dispersed logistics sites.

Key signs of what comes next will include any Ukrainian moves to relocate or disperse major logistics centers around Kyiv, visible efforts to harden warehouse clusters against further drone attacks, and whether Russian nightly strike patterns continue to prioritize warehouse belts over other types of infrastructure.
