Two killed, 36 injured in enemy strikes on Kyiv – capital's police
Two people were killed and 36 residents injured in an enemy drone attack on the capital on September 23, Kyiv police reported on its Telegram channel on Wednesday.
On September 23, Russian drone attacks on Kyiv resulted in two fatalities and over 40 injuries. The attacks occurred throughout the morning, setting off eight air raid alerts. Multiple districts within Kyiv, including Holosiivskyi, Darnitskyi, and Solomianskyi, were targeted. A fire broke out in a modernist indoor market named Shayba near the Central Railway Station, but the station itself remained undamaged.
President Volodymyr Zelensky reported that Russian strikes targeted various sectors, including pharmaceutical facilities, gas stations, railways, communications infrastructure, and shopping malls. Additionally, a Russian Mi-8 helicopter violated Polish airspace near Kaliningrad, remaining in the country's airspace for 42 seconds before being intercepted.
Exiled Belarusian opposition leader Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya warned that Russia might use Belarusian territory to launch attacks against Ukraine, a possibility President Zelensky has also expressed concerns about.
