WHO warehouse in Kyiv region hit in overnight attack, WHO says

A World Health Organization warehouse storing humanitarian medical supplies in Ukraine's Kyiv region was struck during an overnight air attack, the WHO said Friday, with access restricted due to heavy smoke and safety concerns. No WHO personnel were affected, and assessments of damage and stock losses are ongoing. The incident follows an August strike on a WHO warehouse in Dnipro that destroyed half of medical supplies for an estimated 225,000 people. The WHO reported at least 20 attacks on humanitarian supply warehouses in 2026, including 15 holding health-related supplies, reflecting a broader pattern affecting operations. Alternative storage arrangements have already been identified.
