A Russian drone strike struck an office building in Kyiv’s Solomianskyi district on September 25, killing four people and injuring seven others, according to Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko. The afternoon assault triggered a fire in a nearby parking lot where cars burned before emergency services extinguished the blaze.

The impact caused damage to the office facility, shattering windows and damaging the facade. Among the seven injured residents requiring medical attention was one child, Klitschko stated in updates published to social media.
Emergency Response and Transit Restrictions
Emergency response crews rushed to the scene following reports of the incoming unmanned aerial vehicle. The impact zone at the office center parking lot ignited cars. Firefighters contained the parking lot blaze while paramedics treated the injured.
Local authorities restricted local transit, shutting down traffic along Vadim Hetman Street as municipal services secured the perimeter. Separate reporting noted that the targeted structure houses office spaces, including the Inkom office, which suffered impacts alongside neighboring medical facilities that prompted additional hospitalizations of nearby citizens.
Widespread Capital Damage Throughout September
The Solomianskyi strike unfolded amid a broader wave of aerial bombardments targeting Kyiv through late September. Municipal figures show that total strikes across the capital on September 25 injured 27 residents and left five people dead, including a 14-year-old boy. Separate strikes also damaged the building of the High Council of Justice, which suspended its operations following the impact.
Escalating Barrages Across Kyiv Districts
The escalation follows prior overnight barrages on September 24 that struck districts across Kyiv, including the Podilskyi and Dniprovskyi areas. Those earlier incidents damaged civilian infrastructure near a maternity hospital, a local polyclinic, and a church, killing two people and injuring at least eight others.
