Fire Breaks Out in One of the Taryan Towers Buildings in Kyiv
The fire was reported on the upper floors of the building.
On the evening of September 2, a fire broke out in one of the Taryan Towers buildings in Kyiv's Pechersk district. The upper floors of the building caught fire, and according to eyewitnesses, the fire produced a large amount of smoke.
Firefighters quickly arrived at the scene. At 9 p.m., the fire was extinguished.
The cause of the fire remains unknown. However, rescuers established that the last, 34th floor, where repair work was being carried out, caught fire: facade insulation with an area of 15 m² ignited, according to a post on the Facebook page of the Kyiv city department of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine on Facebook.
The developer of Taryan Towers is Taryan Group, a company founded by Armenian entrepreneur Artur Mkhitaryan. It also built several other residential complexes in Kyiv, including Tsarsky, Jack House, and the Royal Tower skyscraper.
Because of Taryan Towers, Mkhitaryan even had to sue the Ukrainian government. The Supreme Court sided with the developer, ruling that the state's claims related to the construction of the towers in the historic part of the city were unfounded.
The total area of the Taryan Towers complex is 145.5 thousand m². It includes a kindergarten, several swimming pools and a playground.
Today, fires were also reported in Kharkiv and Luhansk regions, where about 500 hectares of forest caught fire.
