Ukrainian Railways has dismissed claims of a strike disrupting railway services in central Kyiv on September 2, as reported by monitoring channel eRadar. The company urged the public to only trust information from Ukrainian Railways' official channels. Kyiv experienced frequent air raid alerts throughout the day due to the risk of Russian drone attacks.
Explosions were heard in the city, and air defenses were activated. A monitoring channel reported a Shahed drone flying over the city center near the Universytet and Vokzalna metro stations and the Lukyanivka neighborhood. Additionally, a Russian drone struck a six-story residential building in Kyiv's Shevchenkivskyi district, causing partial destruction.
The incident resulted in four injuries in Kyiv, including those from a fire at an educational facility in the Holosiyivskyi district and damage to a medical facility in the Shevchenkivskyi district.
