Injury Toll from Russian Attack on Kyiv Rises to Nine, Two Killed

The number of people injured in a Russian attack on Kyiv overnight on September 24 has risen to nine, while two people were confirmed killed in the strike, according to Ukrainian authorities.

The attack on Ukraine's capital added to the ongoing pattern of Russian strikes targeting Ukrainian cities, which have continued to cause civilian casualties and damage throughout the conflict.

Casualty figures continue to be updated

Authorities in Kyiv reported that the injury count grew as emergency responders and medical teams assessed the full scope of the damage caused by the overnight strike, a common pattern following such attacks as initial casualty figures are revised upward.

Details on the specific targets struck during the attack, as well as the type of munitions used, were not fully specified in the available report. Ukrainian officials have regularly condemned such strikes as attacks on civilian infrastructure and populations.

The incident adds to the broader toll of the ongoing war, which has repeatedly seen Russian strikes on Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities resulting in civilian casualties and prompting continued calls from Ukrainian officials for enhanced air defense support from international partners.
