On the morning of September 25, 2026, an enemy drone struck a residential high-rise building in Kyiv. According to RBC-Ukraine, this was reported by the Kyiv City Military Administration (KCMA) and the capital's mayor, Vitali Klitschko. The KCMA statement reads: "Preliminary information indicates that a residential building was damaged in the Pechersk district as a result of a UAV impact. Services are heading to the scene." This confirms that the strike hit residential housing in one of the capital's central districts. ### What is known about the details of the strike According to the Ukrainian Air Force, the capital was attacked by a jet-powered drone of the "Shahed" type. The alert system notified of its presence over the city at approximately 8:00 a.m. Kyiv mayor Vitali Klitschko clarified that the impact on the building occurred at the level of the 7th–10th floors. Witnesses posting on social media report that a fire broke out at the site of the impact, indicating a possible ignition resulting from damage to the building's structures and utility systems. ### Information on casualties Information about people injured as a result of the attack was being clarified throughout the morning. Initially, according to the mayor, the presence of casualties was unknown. Later, the KCMA clarified that, at the time, one injured person was known as a result of the attack. Additional data on the injured person's condition and on any possible expansion of the list had not been published as of the time of preparing this material. ### Broader context: the overnight massive attack on Ukraine The strike on the high-rise in the Pechersk district was part of a wider attack. According to RBC-Ukraine, during the night of September 25, Russia struck Ukraine with nearly 300 drones, some of which were jet-powered. The shelling of Kyiv, according to available information, had continued since the night: earlier reports noted a hit on a 25-story building in the capital at the level of the 4th floor. Thus, during the night and morning, at least two separate incidents were recorded involving residential buildings in the capital. ### Contradictory data When reading reports on the events of the morning of September 25, it is important to distinguish between two separate incidents and to bear in mind that the data was being updated over time. First, the information on casualties changed: from "unknown" in the mayor's initial statement to "one injured" in the KCMA's clarification. Second, the media mention two different objects with different impact heights: a high-rise in the Pechersk district with an impact at the level of the 7th–10th floors (the morning strike by a jet-powered "Shahed") and a 25-story building with an impact at the level of the 4th floor (the overnight shelling). Conflating these figures may create a false impression of a single event; as of publication, these are different impacts on different buildings at different times of day. ## 🔍 Fact-Check Verification - [Russia strikes high-rise in Kyiv in the morning](https://www.rbc.ua/ukr/news/rf-vrantsi-vdarila-bagatopoverhivtsi-kievi-1790314955.html) - Подтверждает утренний удар по многоэтажке в Киеве 25.09.2026, ссылается на КМВА и Кличко. - [Russian army attacks Kyiv overnight: one injured, high-rise damaged](https://glavred.info/war/armiya-rf-nochyu-atakovali-kiev-est-postradavshiy-povrezhdena-mnogoetazhka-10799153.html) - Подтверждает повреждение многоэтажки и наличие пострадавшего в ходе атаки на Киев. - [Strike on SBU headquarters in central Kyiv — drone hits the head of the service's office.
