During the night and morning, Russia targeted Ukrainian cities with nearly 500 strike drones and over 40 missiles, including «Kinzhal». In Kyiv, four people lost their lives, and across Ukraine, at least 40 were injured. President Volodymyr Zelensky reported this on Facebook.
«For more than 12 hours, a massive Russian assault on Ukraine continued. Barbaric strikes, a conscious and targeted terror against ordinary cities – nearly 500 strike drones and over 40 missiles, including "Kinzhal". In the morning, Russian-Iranian "Shaheds" were again in our skies,» Zelensky noted.
According to him, the primary targets of the enemy's attack were Kyiv and its region, Zaporizhzhia, Khmelnytskyi, Sumy, and Odesa regions. As a result of the shelling, the building of the Institute of Cardiology in the capital was damaged.
«As of now, there are reports of four fatalities in Kyiv, including a 12-year-old girl. My condolences to all family members. Overall in Ukraine, at least 40 people are known to be injured, including children,» Zelensky informed.
Under fire were a bread production facility, a tire factory, private and apartment buildings, and civilian infrastructure. All necessary services are working on-site.
«This vile attack occurred essentially as a conclusion to the UN General Assembly week, and this is how Russia declares its true position. Moscow wants to continue fighting and killing and deserves the strongest pressure from the world. The Kremlin finds it advantageous to prolong this war and terror as long as there are funds from energy and a shadow fleet operates,» Zelensky emphasized.
Meanwhile, he stated that Ukraine will continue to strike back to «deprive Russia of these opportunities to earn and force it to diplomacy.»
«Everyone who desires peace must support President Trump's efforts and halt any Russian imports. The time for decisive action has long come, and we expect a strong response from the USA, Europe, the «G7», and the «G20»,” Zelensky added.
As of 10:25, due to the Russian attack on September 28, four people were killed in Kyiv, and 13 were injured. In the Kyiv region, 27 people were affected.
