A significant fire broke out in Mukachevo due to a missile strike from the Russian Federation.

This was reported by the Main Department of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine in the Transcarpathian region on Facebook.

"Firefighters managed to contain a large blaze covering an area of 7,000 square meters, caused by a missile attack in Mukachevo," the statement reads.

In total, 96 rescuers and 20 units of equipment are involved in addressing the aftermath of the enemy strike, including a fire train from Ukrzaliznytsia.

As reported, on August 21 at approximately 4:40 a.m., Russian forces launched a missile attack on an enterprise in Mukachevo, resulting in a fire. According to the prosecutor's office, two Kalibr missiles were used. Efforts to mitigate the consequences of the attack are ongoing.
