Ukraine: Deadly Russian drone strike hits central Kyiv
A Russian drone strike hit central Kyiv before 8am on 25 September, killing a 14-year-old and leaving rescue workers clearing rubble from damaged buildings. Residents said there was little time to react to the air raid sirens, as Russia's increasingly deadly drone attacks also struck logistics facilities and postal infrastructure elsewhere in the city. FRANCE 24's Gulliver Cragg has the details from Kyiv.

Why it matters

Editorial boundary
Still open: whether further independent sources confirm, correct or merely repeat the same development. The trust level describes the source trail, not absolute truth.
