On the night of September 25, 2026, Russia struck Kyiv with unmanned aerial vehicles. According to preliminary data, a hit was recorded on a 25-story residential building in the Solomianskyi district at the level of the fourth floor. In the same district, a fire broke out on open ground near a non-residential building due to the fall of a UAV. According to the information available at the time of publication, one person was preliminarily injured.

### Details of the attack in the Solomianskyi district

The most serious consequence of the night strike was damage to a high-rise residential building in the Solomianskyi district. The hit was recorded at the level of the fourth floor of the 25-story building. In parallel, a fire broke out on open ground near a non-residential building in the district, caused by the fall of a drone. One injured person has been officially confirmed, however, authorities and rescue services are still assessing the aftermath, so the final figures may be revised.

### Podilskyi district and traffic restrictions

In the Podilskyi district, a UAV hit to a non-residential building was recorded. As a result of the enemy attack, traffic has been blocked on Vadym Hetman Street. Because of this, the routes of several trolleybus lines have been changed: No. 22k (Kadetskyi Hai Street — Industrial Overpass), No. 27 (Kyiv-Volynskyi station — Industrial Overpass), No. 30 (Miloslavska Street — Degtliarska Street) and No. 42 (Degtliarska Street — Pochaina metro station; in the opposite direction — Lybidska metro station — Industrial Overpass). Passengers are advised to take these changes into account when planning their routes.

### Context: a series of strikes on the capital

The night attack on September 25 was a continuation of a series of strikes on Kyiv. On September 24, the State Emergency Service showed the aftermath of the night attack: then two people were killed, at least eight were injured, and rescuers pulled one person from under the rubble. The day before, on September 23, the enemy also struck the capital — then at least two people were killed, and the number of injured eventually reached 45. These attacks also left their mark: in the Solomianskyi district, drone debris fell between buildings, a transport enterprise's territory caught fire, and another drone hit a store and struck a nine-story non-residential building.

### Contradictory data

There are discrepancies between primary sources and the summaries regarding the location and consequences. The main summary for September 25 indicates a hit on the 25-story building precisely in the Solomianskyi district and one injured person, with no fatalities. At the same time, a number of publications link the night incident to the Dniprovskyi district and report the death of a woman, while other sources cite eight injured and a burning multi-story building. These figures and district names may refer to different waves of the attack or to previous nights (September 23–24), so the final picture of the consequences and the exact number of casualties on September 25 should be awaited from official confirmations by the State Emergency Service and the Kyiv city administration.
