On September 2, Russian forces carried out a missile attack against Kyiv. In the attack, fragments of the missiles fell and destroyed multiple buildings in the city, including the building that served as the shared headquarters of Danish Church Aid (DCA) and Norwegian Church Aid (NCA) in Ukraine.

Jonas Nøddekær, DCA Secretary General, said that the building suffered significant damage, but none of their employees were injured, and they are all safe.

“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.”

He added. A statement released by NCA also reported the damages to the building and confirmed that all of their employees are unharmed and safe. Both charities are cooperating for the betterment of those affected by the war. They focus their work on clearing the landmines in the area, especially from agricultural lands. DCA’s and NCA’s goal, with the support of the European Union (EU), is to clear the fields of mines and make them accessible for the farmers. This way, the ones who lost their livelihood could return to work, and a future possible food crisis can be averted.
