In Kyiv, drone strikes have resulted in hits on two gas stations — in the Dniprovskyi and Obolonskyi districts of the city. This was reported by RBC-Ukraine, citing the official representative of Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko. According to preliminary data, in the Dniprovskyi district a drone hit a gas station, and emergency services were immediately dispatched to the scene. In the Obolonskyi district, according to the same data, an enemy drone attacked the gas station twice, indicating a deliberate strike on a critical infrastructure facility.
Casualties and the condition of residents
In addition to strikes on fuel infrastructure, residential areas were also affected by the attack. In the Obolonskyi district, according to preliminary data, two people were injured as a result of the enemy attack. In the Dniprovskyi district, a medical team was dispatched to a residential building where a drone hit was recorded. According to medical services, eight people were injured in a nine-story building, two of whom were hospitalized, and one of the injured is in critical condition. Rescue and medical teams continue to work at the scene.
Broader context: strikes on Kyiv and the region
The attacks on facilities in Kyiv are not an isolated incident. On the night of September 11, Russian attack drones carried out a series of strikes on the capital: a nine-story residential building caught fire in the Dniprovskyi district, resulting in eight people being injured. Meanwhile, drones hit facilities in the Kyiv region, where private homes and industrial premises were damaged. Thus, the strikes on gas stations during the daytime hours of September 11 became a continuation of a multi-vector attack on the region's infrastructure.
Contradictory data
All four verified sources — RBC-Ukraine, ZN.ua, Focus.ua, and Sud.ua — unanimously confirm the fact of drones hitting two gas stations in the Dniprovskyi and Obolonskyi districts. However, there is an inconsistency in the quantitative data on casualties: one part of the report states that two people were injured in the Obolonskyi district, while the overall figure of eight injured refers to the nine-story building in the Dniprovskyi district. The distinction between these two episodes in the original source is not always clear, and the final summary on the number of injured in both districts may be revised as data from medical services comes in. In addition, information about the double strike on the gas station in the Obolonskyi district had not been independently confirmed by video material at the time of publication.
Response of authorities and emergency services
The Kyiv city administration, through the official representative of the mayor, confirmed receiving information about the hits and dispatched fire, medical, and emergency rescue units to the scenes of the incidents. An official comment regarding possible damage to fuel tanks and an assessment of the environmental risk was not published at the time of preparing the material. Experts note that strikes on petroleum supply facilities carry an increased risk of secondary fires and require prolonged work to contain the consequences.
