A Russian drone attack hits the headquarters of Ukraine’s SBU security service in central Kyiv on Friday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says. The strike causes heavy smoke in the city centre, according to reports from local observers.
France 24 reports that the attack injures five people. Other outlets, including Daily Mail, Cyprus Mail and Times of India, also cite Zelensky’s statement about the target, but they provide fewer details about casualties. Cyprus Mail frames the incident as part of continued Russian air attacks on Kyiv, noting it is the 10th day of strikes on the capital.
Zelensky also says Ukraine will retaliate, according to multiple reports. France 24 adds that Zelensky says the drone was aimed directly at the security service headquarters, and notes the attack follows a series of deadly overnight strikes across Ukraine, including in Odesa.
