Ukraine war: Russian drone hits Kyiv intelligence headquarters
The Ukrainian capital has not been able to rest for days due to Russian attacks. Now a drone has hit a particular target. President Zelensky orders a reaction.
A Russian drone has struck the main building of Ukraine's SBU intelligence agency in central Kyiv. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported that the drone targeted the office of SBU head Olexander Poklad, and instructed him to respond "mirror-like" to the attack. The city administration said at least 12 people were injured and the building's roof and exterior wall were damaged.
The attack also affected the nearby Sophia Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage site, where window panes were shattered in an 18th-century administrative building. Ukraine's Foreign Minister Andrij Sybiha condemned the attack as a "significant escalation" and called on UNESCO and international partners to react.
