Russian drone strike hits Ukraine's SBU headquarters in Kyiv

In early September 2026, a Russian drone strike hit the headquarters of Ukraine's Security Service (SBU) in central Kyiv, injuring at least nine people. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy confirmed the attack and said it appeared to target the office of the SBU chief.

Zelenskyy has ordered a response to the strike. The attack is part of a broader Russian shift in tactics, with round-the-clock air strikes on Kyiv that have disrupted daily life in the capital.
