Seven killed and 43 injured in Russian drone attacks on Kyiv
Russians killed seven and injured a total of 43 people in Ukraine’s capital in drone attacks on 25 September, Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko stated.
In a daytime Russian drone attack, an office building in Kyiv’s Solomianskyi district was damaged, resulting in the deaths of four individuals and the injury of numerous others.
The National Police of Ukraine reported that two of those killed were found in the street near the office building, one inside the building, and the other in a car in the car park.
The number of people who were injured is being confirmed in this attack.
Meanwhile, Israel’s Foreign Ministry has stated on X that a 14-year-old Israeli citizen was killed in a Russian attack on Kyiv and his mother was injured.
In addition, an administrative building belonging to the High Council of Justice was damaged by a Russian drone strike.
Despite U.S. President Donald Trump’s promise, the war in Ukraine has not ended 24 hours after his inauguration. His further attempts to facilitate an unconditional ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine have also failed.
Ukrainian experts earlier pointed out that countries, including China, Greece, North Korea, India, Hungary, Slovakia, Iran, and Brazil, assist Moscow in killing Ukrainians in its war against Ukraine by funding the Russian budget through trade.

Human rights organisations and Ukrainian authorities emphasise that structural economic pressure remains a key tool to halt such atrocities. They urge every nation and individual government worldwide to strictly enforce global sanctions, close existing regulatory loopholes, and completely sever remaining commercial and technological ties with the Russian Federation. Civil society groups stress that any continued cooperation by foreign businesses directly contributes to the resources Moscow uses to sustain its ongoing war crimes and crimes against humanity in Ukraine.
