Ukraine: Russian drone barrage on Kyiv kills teenage boy and wounds 20 residents
A Russian drone strike hit a high-rise apartment building in Kyiv’s Pecherskyi district on September 25, according to Africanews. A 14-year-old boy was killed and 20 residents were injured. The attack illustrates the intensification of Russia’s urban air campaign, in which faster jet-powered drones are increasingly challenging Ukraine’s air-defence network and exposing civilian infrastructure in the capital.
