Russian strike on Kyiv damages nine-story apartment building, leaves several injured
Russian forces struck Kyiv, damaging a nine-story residential building in the Ukrainian capital’s Dniprovskyi district.
The attack sparked a fire in the building that injured eight people, the Kyiv City Military Administration reported.
The Ukrainian Air Force claimed Russia launched 161 drones at Ukraine overnight on September 11, downing 138 of them, along with a small cruise missile known as “Banderol.”
Russia’s Defense Ministry claimed that the strikes hit data centers in Kyiv and in the Kyiv, Khmelnytskyi, and Dnipropetrovsk regions, as well as port infrastructure facilities and vessels carrying military cargo in the Odesa region.
In early September, Vladimir Putin ordered a three-day halt to strikes on Kyiv while Trump envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner visited both capitals. Volodymyr Zelensky, for his part, pledged that Ukraine would ensure “the normal functioning of Russian airspace so that American negotiators could arrive safely.” Russia resumed strikes on Kyiv as early as September 8.
