Air defenses were engaged as Russian drones damaged residential buildings and a warehouse, Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said.
Russia conducted a third drone strike on Kyiv overnight, the third consecutive day of attacks, according to Mayor Vitali Klitschko and Ukraine's State Emergency Service. The latest assault occurred on September 26-27, with an air defense system active in the city, Klitschko reported. In the Shevchenkivskyi district, a drone targeted an uninhabited building, setting it ablaze but allowing emergency crews to extinguish the fire.
Meanwhile, a drone fell in an open area in the Solomianskyi district, causing damage to a five-story residential building and triggering a fire at a nearby warehouse. A woman sustained injuries in the attack and received medical attention. This escalation follows a series of Russian drone strikes on Kyiv that began on September 24, with ongoing targeting throughout the day.
