Drone strike hits Ukraine's security service HQ in Kyiv, injuring seven

A Russian drone strike hit the headquarters of Ukraine's security service (SBU) in Kyiv on Friday afternoon, injuring seven people. Six of the injured have been taken to hospital, according to Mayor Vitali Klitschko. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed the strike targeted the SBU headquarters, stating the drone was aimed directly at the office of the security service chief. He has instructed SBU head Oleksandr Poklad to retaliate with a concrete response mirroring the attack, supported by the military. The attack has drawn strong reactions on social media, with Wall Street Journal correspondent Yaroslav Trofimov commenting that the response signals fewer red lines in the war. The strike marks a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict.
