On Friday evening, September 11, 2026, Russian occupiers launched a new strike on Kyiv. According to the Kyiv City Military Administration and a statement by the city's mayor Vitali Klitschko, a drone hit an office building in the Podilskyi district. Meanwhile, reports emerged on social media of yet another "hit" on one of the capital's gas stations. This is reported by RBC-Ukraine, citing official statements from city authorities. ### Timeline of attacks: from the nighttime drone wave to the evening strike The evening attack was a continuation of a whole series of strikes on the capital over the course of the day. On the night of September 11, Russian occupiers attacked Kyiv with strike drones: as a result, a fire broke out in a nine-story residential building, and there are casualties. In the morning, the enemy used kamikaze drones against two "Ukrnafta" gas stations in Troieshchyna and Pochaiv, with one of the stations suffering a double strike. During the day, an enemy drone hit an office building in the Podilskyi district — a fire started on the fourth floor, causing destruction and a fire in two adjacent structures. The evening strike on the same facility was, according to the mayor, a repeat one. ### Hit on the office building in the Podilskyi district "Preliminary information indicates that a UAV struck an office building in the Podilskyi district," noted the Kyiv Military Administration. Mayor Vitali Klitschko clarified that, preliminarily, the hit occurred on a five-story office building in the Podilskyi district, which had already been struck by the enemy earlier that same day, during the afternoon. Thus, the facility was hit at least twice within 24 hours. ### Fire in a warehouse building and the work of emergency services The consequences of the repeat strike were more extensive than the daytime hit. "As a result of the repeat hit on the office building in the Podilskyi district, a fire also broke out in a nearby warehouse building. Emergency services are on scene," Klitschko stated. According to available data, firefighters and rescue units are working at the scene; information on casualties has not been officially confirmed as of the time of publication. ### Strikes on "Ukrnafta" gas stations and social media reports In addition to the office building, fuel facilities were in the crosshairs of the strikes. On the morning of September 11, two "Ukrnafta" gas stations in Troieshchyna and Pochaiv were hit by kamikaze drones, with one of them suffering a double strike. In the evening, the network also reported another "hit" on a gas station in Kyiv; however, as of the preparation of this material, this report had not been confirmed by either the Kyiv Military Administration or the city hall, and should therefore be treated as unverified. ### Contradictory data The statements from the parties and media publications contain discrepancies that are important to note. First, the data on the number of floors of the hit office building differs: Vitali Klitschko calls it a five-story building, whereas the headline of one Ukrainian outlet (UNN) describes the facility as a two-story office building. Second, the report of an evening hit on a gas station appears only on social media and is not backed by an official statement from the authorities, unlike the strike on the office building and the fire in the warehouse, which have been confirmed by the military administration and the mayor. Until official clarifications emerge, both versions should be received with reservations. ## 🔍 Fact-Check Verification - [Russia strikes Kyiv office for the second time in a day](https://www.rbc.ua/ukr/news/rosiya-drugiy-raz-den-vdarila-ofisu-kievi-1789142591.html) - Подтверждает повторный (вечерний) удар по офисному зданию в Киеве и ссылается на КМА и Кличко. - [New Russian strike on Kyiv: kamikaze drone hits business center, fire breaks out](https://focus.ua/voennye-novosti/767399-obstrel-kieva-dron-rf-popal-v-ofis-i-podzheg-pomeshchenie-podrobnosti) - Подтверждает попадание дрона в офисный/бизнес-объект и возникновение пожара. - [Russia attacks Kyiv again: hits on warehouses, fierce fire raging (updated)](https://kyiv.tsn.ua/ru/kyiv/rossiya-snova-atakovala-kiev-razdalis-vzryvy-bespilotnik-upal-na-zdanie-3166193.html) - Подтверждает повторную атаку и возгорание в складском здании рядом с офисом. - [Enemy continues to attack Ukraine: in the capital a drone lands on an office building, in Dnipro ... is burning](https://unn.ua/ru/news/vrag-prodolzhaet-atakovat-ukrainu-v-stolitse-bespilotnik-upal-na-dvukhetazhnoe-ofisnoe-zdanie-v-dnepre-goryat-skladi) - Подтверждает удар по офису в столице, однако в заголовке называет здание двухэтажным — расхождение с версией Кличко о пятиэтажном. ## ❓ FAQ ### Q: What exactly was hit in Kyiv on the evening of September 11? **A:** According to preliminary information from the Kyiv Military Administration and mayor Vitali Klitschko, a drone hit an office building in the Podilskyi district that had already been struck during the day.
