WHO medical warehouse hit in Kyiv region during aerial attack
A World Health Organization (WHO) warehouse in the Kyiv region was damaged during an overnight aerial attack. The facility, located in the Boryspil district, served as a primary hub for humanitarian medical supplies intended for frontline areas and hard-to-reach regions in Ukraine.
WHO spokesperson Christian Lindmeier stated that no personnel were injured during the strike, though access to the site remains restricted due to heavy smoke and security concerns. Assessments are ongoing to determine the full extent of structural damage and the loss of medical stocks.
The organization noted that this incident is part of a broader pattern of attacks on humanitarian operations. In 2026, at least 20 attacks have targeted humanitarian supply warehouses, 15 of which involved medical supplies. This follows a significant strike in August on a WHO warehouse in Dnipro, which destroyed half of the medical equipment intended for approximately 225,000 people. The WHO has already established alternative storage solutions to maintain aid deliveries.
