A Russian drone struck the building of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine in central Kyiv, causing a fire, according to Ukrainian state news agency Ukrinform.
The National Academy of Sciences is Ukraine’s leading scientific institution, and the strike adds to a pattern of attacks on civilian and institutional buildings in the Ukrainian capital during the ongoing war with Russia.
Ukrinform’s report did not detail the extent of the damage to the building or specify whether any casualties resulted from the strike. Ukrainian authorities have regularly responded to fires caused by drone and missile strikes across Kyiv in recent months.
The incident follows a separate drone strike reported the same day on a non-residential building elsewhere in central Kyiv, underscoring the intensity of aerial attacks the city has faced.
