In Kyiv, toxic fuel leaked from a downed missile

During a massive missile attack on Kyiv on Sunday, 24 March, debris from one of the downed Russian missiles caused not only destruction but also a chemical threat. This was reported by Informer.

According to a journalist who was at the scene, toxic fuel leaked out of the missile.

Rescuers asked journalists to put on protective masks and move away to a safe distance while they collected the debris of the missile.

We have moved 500 metres away because they are just starting to collect the debris and load it into vehicles. We are wearing masks now because there is rocket fuel leaking here right now. It's very toxic. We have been asked by experts to wear masks for our health. It is quite difficult to breathe here, even though we are among the trees," journalist Lyudmila Havrylyuk said in a report.

Rocket fuel contains toxic substances that can have a negative impact on health. Inhalation or contact with the fuel can lead to poisoning.
