Israeli teenager killed during Russian drone strike on residential building in Kyiv
The Israeli consulate in Kyiv and the Foreign Ministry are in contact with the teenager's family and assisting in the matter.
A 14-year-old Israeli teen was tragically killed in Kyiv on Friday morning when a Russian drone struck a residential building, according to the Israeli Foreign Ministry. The ministry, along with the Israeli consul in Kyiv and the department for Israelis abroad, is providing support to the bereaved family. The attack occurred around 8:00 a.m. local time in Kyiv's Pecherskyi district, where the teen's mother was also injured and taken for medical treatment.
The Israeli consul, the Federation of Jewish Communities of Ukraine, and Chabad emissaries have been coordinating efforts to assist the family and the community. The teen held Israeli citizenship and had lived in Ukraine for around 20 years before returning to Israel. The Federation of Jewish Communities of Ukraine and President Volodymyr Zelensky have condemned the Russian attack, which has injured six others and resulted in multiple attacks across eight regions in Ukraine.
