On the morning of Tuesday, February 24, a woman died in a fire in her own house in the Boryspil district of the Kyiv region. The house had previously caught fire due to a faulty stove heating.
The regional police reported this on February 25.
Law enforcement officers were notified of the fire at around 8 a.m. The fire occurred in a private residential building in Pereyaslav, Boryspil Oblast.
