PRESS RELEASE
Early Monday morning, 2 September 2024, Russia fired ballistic and cruise missiles at Kyiv. The city’s air defence system intercepted some of missiles in the attack. Unfortunately, DanChurchAid’s headquarters in Kyiv, shared with Norwegian Church Aid, sustained a direct hit.
There are no injuries, but the building is heavily damaged.
DanChurchAid’s Secretary General, Jonas Nøddekær, stated: “DanChurchAid’s office in Kyiv was hit, and the building has suffered extensive damage. Fortunately, the damage is only material, and all our employees are safe and in good spirits. We are in close contact with them.”
“A damaged building in Kyiv will not prevent us from continuing our humanitarian and reconstruction work, including mine clearance, in eastern Ukraine. We are working especially in Mykolaiv, where we are helping to rebuild infrastructure and assist local communities in getting back on their feet.”
DanChurchAid and Norwegian Church Aid share an office and conduct relief activities together in Ukraine.
