Russian jet UAV raid sets gas stations ablaze in Kyiv, killing one — photoreport
Russian forces struck four districts across Kyiv with jet-powered drones, killing one person and wounding seven others, State Emergency Service (SES) reported on Sept. 15.
Mayor Vitali Klitschko reported that Russian forces attacked a gas station in Kyiv's Darnytskyi district, leaving one person injured and hospitalized in serious condition. The Ukrainian capital experienced additional strikes on warehouses in the Obolonskyi district, according to Klitschko's preliminary reports. In response to the Russian drone attacks against Ukraine, Polish military aviation operations were initiated as a precautionary measure and were concluded several hours later.
Earlier in the night, NATO successfully shot down a drone that entered Lithuanian airspace from Belarus around midnight, as reported by Lithuanian authorities. The drone had crossed into Lithuania from neighboring Belarus, traveling over Lentvaris near Vilnius before being shot down near Kaunas. Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda expressed gratitude to Allied personnel for their swift response in a post on social media platform X.
