On September 27, Russian drones struck Kyiv's Stolychnyi market, also referred to as a market in Sofiiska Borshchahivka on the western outskirts of Kyiv, killing two people and wounding ten others, according to local authorities and Ukrainian prosecutors. The attack set installations and vehicles on fire, with debris strewn on the ground, as reported by the South China Morning Post.

In addition to the market strike, Russian forces also launched attacks in other regions, resulting in three deaths in different areas, including the northern city of Sumy, where three glide bombs struck near a family support centre, killing two people, according to the South China Morning Post and regional governor Oleh Hryhorov.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky described the attacks as "terrorism", stating that Russia had no military objective and was attempting to inflict harm on Ukrainian society, as reported by the South China Morning Post.
