43 People Injured In Kyiv Due To Russian Attacks, Two Killed

A Russian attack targeting Kyiv resulted in 43 people being injured and two fatalities, according to the City Prosecutor's Office and Mayor Vitaliy Klitschko. The capital has been repeatedly targeted by Russian drones throughout the day. As of 15:30 on September 23, two individuals lost their lives due to UAV strikes and debris falling in Darnytskyi and Solomianskyi districts, while 36 others sustained injuries. Seven were hurt in Holosiivskyi district, five in Darnytskyi, 20 in Solomianskyi, and four in Sviatoshynskyi.

Mayor Klitschko informed that three of the injured are in critical condition. The Kyiv City Military Administration reported that Russia utilized UAVs during the morning and afternoon strikes on multiple locations, including a gas station, business center, office building, pharmaceutical company, former market area, and areas near the railway station.

Fires ignited at the strike sites, causing damage to nearby vehicles. Ukrainian law enforcement has classified the actions of Russian Armed Forces personnel as war crimes, resulting in civilian casualties and deaths under Ukrainian Criminal Code provisions. The total number of casualties is still under investigation, with earlier reports indicating two deaths and 25 injuries as a result of the Ukrainian attacks on September 23.
