Russian drones hit Kyiv gas station, injuring four amid ongoing attacks
Russian jet-powered drones struck a gas station in Kyiv’s Holosiivskyi district, wounding four people and sparking a fire that was later extinguished.
On September 10, Russian jet-powered drones targeted a gas station in Kyiv’s Holosiivskyi district, where a falling drone injured four people and set a vehicle ablaze, prompting a fire that was later controlled by emergency responders. Mayor Vitali Klitschko reported additional damage to a non-residential building in the same area. Video from local Telegram channels showed flames near the Respublika Park shopping mall.
In the same morning, drone attacks across Kyiv Oblast resulted in one fatality in Obukhiv district and injuries in Fastiv and Obukhiv districts. Damage was also recorded in Bucha district, where private houses were hit and a fire broke out, and in Fastiv district, where debris struck a veterinary clinic and a house. The renewed wave of attacks followed a short lull that coincided with a visit by U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner to the capital.
