An industrial facility in the Kremenchuk district was hit, causing a fire.

Information about casualties is being confirmed. All necessary services are working at the scene."

A fire was still being extinguished at the site of the Russian attack at the time of his writing. Pronin shared several photos of the fire.

So far, there is no information about casualties or fatalities.

Background: On Saturday evening, an air-raid warning was issued over most of Ukraine, including Kyiv, presumably because of ballistic missile launches.

Ukraine's Air Force reported on missiles coming from the east towards Poltava and Kremenchuk. Explosions rang out in Kremenchuk and Poltava districts.
