Ukraine war: Russian drone strikes Academy of Sciences in Kyiv, killing a woman
Franceinfo reports that a Russian drone struck a building belonging to Ukraine's National Academy of Sciences in central Kyiv on September 28, killing a woman. The site is located near embassies and government buildings in an area that has generally been less exposed to Russian drones. The attack therefore highlights the widening reach of Russia's air campaign and the growing vulnerability of institutions far from the battlefield.
