A Russian drone strike on Friday hit the headquarters of Ukraine's SBU security service in central Kyiv, injuring five people, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said. The attack targeted the building's head office. Zelenskyy said the drone struck the SBU building on Volodymyrska Street, across from St. Sophia Cathedral, and was aimed directly at the head's office. Kyiv's mayor confirmed five injuries, with heavy black smoke rising from the site. The daytime attack marks a shift from Russia's usual nighttime strikes, as jet-powered drones now hit Kyiv around the clock. Residents report exhaustion from constant air-raid sirens, with some considering leaving the city.
