On September 28, in broad daylight, a new Russian strike hit downtown Kyiv, the Ukrainian capital, causing scenes of chaos and significant damage. Images show large flames and thick black smoke rising above the affected area, notably around the Academy of Sciences where people were seen at windows.
According to Ukrainian authorities, at least one woman lost her life in this deadly attack. These strikes come amid an intensification of Russian attacks on Kyiv, now occurring both day and night, greatly reducing respite for the capital’s residents.
