On September 4, a Russian drone strike targeted the central building of Ukraine's Security Service (SSU) in Kyiv. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced this development after speaking with SSU chief Oleksandr Poklad, as reported by UATV English. The SSU headquarters was situated on Volodymyrska Street, near St. Sophia's Cathedral.
The president noted that the drone was targeted precisely at the office of the SSU head. Zelenskyy directed Poklad to prepare an appropriate, tangible response to the Russian attack, ideally mirrored. The head of state emphasized that active measures would be taken by the Ukrainian military. Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko confirmed that the strike occurred in Kyiv's Shevchenkivskyi district, causing a fire in the SSU building.
The fire was swiftly put out, and the structure suffered damage to its floor slab and exterior wall. Nine individuals were injured in the district, with seven requiring hospitalization. Zelenskyy confirmed that the response plan had been determined, with a determination to achieve a result. He had received a briefing from SSU Head Poklad on preparations for active responses to Russian strikes.
It should be noted that Russia launched a guided Kh-31P air-launched missile, around 121 Shahed-type strike UAVs, Gerbera drones, an S8000 Banderol missile, and Parody-type decoy drones against Ukraine the night before.
