On the evening of September 10, during an air raid alert in effect in the capital, debris falls and drone strikes on civilian infrastructure were recorded in Kyiv. Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko reported on the aftermath of the attack, emphasizing that damage was recorded in two districts of the city. Emergency and rescue services were immediately dispatched to the scenes of the incidents.
Timeline and circumstances of the attack
According to available information, the strikes were carried out in the evening, when an air raid alert was in effect over Kyiv. The city recorded both debris falls and direct drone hits on buildings. The capital's mayor clarified that the aftermath was recorded in two districts — Solomianskyi and Obolonskyi. Information on possible casualties and the exact scale of the destruction is still being verified as of the time of publication.
Solomianskyi district: hit on a business center
Preliminary information indicates that in the Solomianskyi district a drone hit the roof of a four-story business center. This building is the one featured in the first reports on the aftermath of the evening attack. The extent of structural damage and the presence of casualties among employees or visitors have not been confirmed as of the time of preparing this material.
Obolonskyi district: office building and fire
In the Obolonskyi district, according to statements, a drone fell on a two-story office building. At the same time, according to Vitali Klitschko's information, a Russian drone also hit a warehouse building in this district, as a result of which a fire broke out. All emergency and rescue services are working at the scene, eliminating the aftermath of the hit and extinguishing the fire.
Contradictory data
The description of the aftermath in the Obolonskyi district contains a discrepancy in the characteristics of the damaged object. Some reports indicate that a drone fell on a two-story office building, whereas in the mayor's statement and in a number of summaries the talk is of a hit on a warehouse building where a fire arose. It is possible that the reports refer to two different objects in the same district or to a difference in the preliminary classification of the same incident. The exact number of damaged buildings and their purpose are being clarified by the services.
Context: massive attack on September 9
The evening attack on September 10 became a continuation of a series of strikes on the capital: a preliminary massive drone attack on Kyiv took place on the morning of September 9, when the aftermath was recorded in several districts at once. In particular, in the Dniprovskyi district drones hit warehouse premises, which caused large-scale fires. In addition, according to data at that time, a Russian 'Shahed' hit a 22-story residential building: civilian infrastructure was damaged, and there were casualties among the residents of the capital.
Response of services and status of information
All emergency and rescue services were dispatched to the scenes of the incidents on September 10 to eliminate the aftermath and to find out information on possible casualties. Official data on the number of casualties and the final scale of the destruction have not been published as of the time of publication; the relevant information is being clarified. The publication XAB.info will update the material as confirmed information becomes available.
