Russian Drones Strike Kyiv's Medical Center and Science Academy
Confirmed
In Short: A Russian drone attack on a medical center in Kyiv killed one woman and injured 21 others, including three children.
The Kyiv City Prosecutor's Office reported that a Russian drone attack on the city center killed a woman and injured 21 people, including three children, according to Kyiv Mayor Vitalii Klitschko.
In the city center, the Ukrainian National Academy of Sciences building was set ablaze, and Education and Sciences Minister Andrii Butenko reported that one of the ministry's buildings was also damaged.
An aide to former National Security and Defense Council Secretary Volodymyr Horbulin was killed in the strike on the National Academy of Sciences building, the academy's press service told Ukrinform.
Later in the afternoon, a medical center belonging to Ukrainian private medical provider Dobrobut was struck, with videos showing the facility in flames.
Zelensky confirmed the strike on the medical facility, adding that first responders were working at the scene.
Seven people were injured in the Dobrobut medical center strike, six of them employees, the medical network told Ukrainska Pravda.
Russia also struck the Darnytsia pharmaceutical plant again, without any casualties, only days after an attack on Sept. 23, board member Kateryna Zagoriy said.
The air force said it downed or suppressed 86 of the drones, 49 of them jet-powered.
In the commuter city of Brovary east of Kyiv, a Russian strike on a warehouse led to a 'minor' ammonia leak, regional governor Tymur Tkachenko said.
On the evening of Sept. 27, two people were killed and four others injured by a Russian strike on the Stolichny food market just outside of the capital, Klitschko said.
Over central Kyiv, air defense systems were reported to be active, filling the city with sounds of blasts and explosions amid a nine-hour-long air raid alert.
An additional nine people sustained injuries in attacks on Kyiv throughout the day, Klitschko said.
