Zelensky: Russian forces strike Kyiv data center twice in one morning

Russian forces struck a data center in Kyiv twice on the morning of September 27, President Volodymyr Zelensky said, with two children reported among those injured in the attack.

Zelensky's statement described the strikes as having hit the same facility in short succession, adding to a pattern of attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure that has continued through the war.

Casualties and Damage

Officials indicated that injuries were reported among those affected by the strikes, with two children specifically named among the wounded, though the full extent of casualties and damage to the facility was not immediately detailed.

Attacks on infrastructure facilities in Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities have remained a recurring feature of the conflict, with data centers and other civilian infrastructure sometimes affected alongside military targets.

Zelensky has repeatedly used public statements to draw attention to the human cost of such strikes, often highlighting injuries to civilians, including children, in the aftermath of attacks.

Ukrainian authorities are expected to provide further details on the scale of the damage and the condition of those injured as assessments of the strikes continue.

The incident adds to the broader record of strikes on the Ukrainian capital that Kyiv officials have documented throughout the war.
