Russia strikes 2 gas stations, injures at least 4 in Kyiv during morning rush hour
An air raid siren sounded in the capital at around 9:10 a.m. local time. About half an hour later, explosions were heard across the city, according to Kyiv Independent journalists on the ground.
Russian drones targeted two gas stations in Kyiv on the morning of September 11, injuring at least four individuals, according to the Kyiv City Military Administration. The air raid siren rang out around 9:10 a.m. local time, followed by explosions heard across the city roughly half an hour later. Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko reported that the attacks occurred in the Dniprovskyi and Obolonskyi districts.
Russian forces executed a double-tap attack on the gas station in Obolonskyi district, causing damage to a car in the area. Emergency crews are currently responding to the affected locations. This marks the third gas station in Kyiv struck by Russian drones, all of which are operated by state-owned Ukrnafta, Ukraine's largest oil and natural gas producer.
The attacks come as Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski arrived in Kyiv, arriving at the city's main train station. The purpose of his visit remains unclear, but it follows a rise in tensions between Poland and Ukraine.
