Kyiv Science Academy Hit in Daytime Drone Barrage That Kills Seven Across Ukraine
Russian forces launched a sustained daytime drone assault on Ukraine on September 28, 2026, killing at least seven people and wounding over 50. The attack targeted the National Academy of Sciences in central Kyiv, apartment blocks, and offices in Dnipro and Kharkiv. Kremlin officials framed the strikes as retaliation for Ukrainian actions, while Kyiv condemned the assault on civilian and scientific infrastructure as terrorism. Ukraine responded with long-range strikes on Russian oil and defense facilities.
