At least 8 injured in Kyiv amid Russian drone attack
Eight people were injured in Kyiv’s Dniprovskyi district, where a fire broke out in a nine-story residential building during the Russian attack, according to the Kyiv City Military Administration.
Russia launched a series of at least 66 drones across Ukraine overnight on September 11, targeting Kyiv and injuring at least eight people, officials reported. The attack occurred in Kyiv’s Dniprovskyi district, where a fire broke out in a nine-story residential building. Ukrainian defenses successfully shot down or suppressed 62 of the drones, while the remaining four struck three locations.
The extent of the damage caused by the attack is still not fully known. This latest strike comes after a brief pause in Russian attacks on Kyiv following a visit by U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, who departed on September 7. Russia resumed its attacks shortly after the envoys left and launched a large-scale missile and drone assault on September 8, resulting in the deaths of five people and injuries to 35 others.
Kyiv’s Dniprovskyi district faced another drone strike on September 9, which killed a woman and injured several others, including two teenagers. Prior to this attack, Kyiv had experienced a continuous series of overnight Russian drone and missile assaults, accompanied by frequent air raid alerts, sirens, explosions, and damage throughout the city.
