Russian drone strike on Kyiv apartment building injures residents

Russia attacked Kyiv with drones early Friday, September 25, striking a 25-story residential building in the Solomianskyi district, causing fires and injuries, according to Mayor Vitali Klitschko. The drone hit the building at the fourth-floor level. Another drone fell on a non-residential structure in the same district, with a fire breaking out nearby and at least one casualty reported. A separate drone strike damaged a non-residential building in the Podilskyi district, with emergency services dispatched. This follows a ballistic missile attack on Kyiv on September 24, when debris fell near a maternity hospital, killing one person and damaging cars and the facility. On September 23, drones struck two gas stations, a market, and a business center in the city.
