Russian drone hits nine-story building in Kyiv’s Dniprovskyi district, killing woman and injuring children
A Russian drone strike hit a nine-story residential building in Kyiv’s Dniprovskyi district on Sept. 9, killing one woman and injuring at least three people, including two teenagers, Kyiv Mayor Vitaliy Klitschko reported, adding that a fire broke out in the building after the strike.
Russian drones targeted infrastructure along Ukraine's border with Moldova, resulting in the deaths of two individuals and injuries to three others, according to the Odesa regional military administration. The attack occurred at the international vehicle checkpoint in Starokozache, situated on the Moldovan border. The checkpoint has since been suspended due to the incident.
The Russian Defense Ministry attributed the strike, claiming the checkpoint was utilized for transporting military supplies into Ukraine. Prior to this event, Moldova's Defense Ministry had reported a drone intrusion from Ukraine into their airspace, prompting a closure of the airspace to flights. The drone subsequently directed towards Romania, leading to the deployment of two F-18 fighter jets, which also returned to Romanian airspace.
The drone eventually returned to Moldovan territory and crashed within the country, causing no casualties.
