URCS operates at two locations following UAV strikes on Kyiv
Volunteers from the Ukrainian Red Cross Society (URCS) assisted victims following drone attacks at two locations in Kyiv.
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.
