Key Points

Russian strike hit the 'Dobrobut' medical center and NAS Ukraine facilities in Kyiv.

The attack resulted in one death and six injuries, including children.

President Zelenskyy called for increased pressure on the Russian military-industrial complex.

On September 28, 2026, the capital of Ukraine again suffered a massive drone attack. Russian forces struck the 'Dobrobut' medical center located in the center of Kyiv. President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed the attack on civil infrastructure, publishing footage of the aftermath showing a large-scale fire in the clinic building. Emergency services arrived on the scene to contain the fire and conduct search and rescue operations.

Timeline of events and consequences

In addition to the medical facility, the targets of Russian strikes included facilities of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, as well as infrastructure in the Obolonskyi and Shevchenkivskyi districts of Kyiv. According to preliminary data, one person died and six were injured as a result of the hits on civilian objects, including three children. Rescuers are continuing to clear the rubble, and the number of victims may increase. The situation is complicated by the fact that the attacks occurred during the daytime, when the institutions were occupied by many staff and patients.

Contradictory data

There is a discrepancy in the assessment of the scale of damage in official reports and operational sources. While President Zelenskyy emphasizes the strike on the 'Dobrobut' medical facility, other sources mention a series of hits on industrial facilities, including gas stations and NAS buildings. There is also a discrepancy in the data on the number of victims: operational summaries range from six to dozens of people if indirect consequences of the massive shelling in other regions are taken into account.

Government reaction and calls to the international community

Volodymyr Zelenskyy characterized these strikes as an act of terror and emphasized that they could have been prevented with a stronger international response to Russia's actions. The President called on the international community to exert total pressure on the aggressor's military-industrial complex. The head of state stressed that ignoring such incidents only gives terrorists more freedom for future attacks. Ukraine continues to insist on the need to strengthen air defense systems to protect the civilian population from attacks that are becoming increasingly targeted at social infrastructure.
