Story summary
On September 28, Russian drones targeted multiple sites in Kyiv, Ukraine's capital, including apartments, offices, data centers, and most notably, a building of the National Academy of Sciences, causing significant damage. The attack killed at least seven people and wounded more than 50 others according to Ukrainian officials. Mayor Vitali Klitschko condemned these strikes as “pure terror” aimed at disrupting normal life and breaking civilian morale.
These attacks come amid ongoing diplomatic efforts at the United Nations to negotiate an end to Russia's invasion that began nearly four and a half years ago. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated, "Ukraine will have to pay a price for the actions that have taken place in recent months." The strikes also damaged a railway bridge near Kyiv and derailed nearly 30 carriages and wagons.
In retaliation, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that Ukraine had targeted Russian oil facilities and military sites in Tula, Voronezh, and Krasnodar regions. Moscow's forces have increasingly used faster jet drones to hit urban centers, complicating Ukraine's defense efforts.
