Russian forces struck four districts across Kyiv with jet-powered drones, killing one person and wounding seven others, State Emergency Service (SES) reported on Sept. 15.
Russian troops launched early-morning strikes across the capital utilizing high-speed turbojet-powered unmanned aerial vehicles, causing structural damage and casualties in at least four municipal districts.
Emergency responders detailed the damage across the affected districts:
Obolonskyi district: An inbound drone struck a non-residential building, igniting a structural fire that was later extinguished by emergency crews.
Darnytskyi district: A strike was recorded on the grounds of a gas station, injuring one person. First responders extinguished a minor fire using manual fire extinguishers.
Solomyanskyi district: A drone impacted a non-residential structure without sparking a fire. Six civilians sustained injuries and were transported by paramedics to local hospitals.
Holosiivskyi district: A strike targeted the premises of a gas station, sparking a fire that was brought under control. One person was injured.
One fatality has been officially confirmed as a result of the morning strikes.
Photos showing emergency operations and physical destruction across the capital were also published by Reuters.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
