Kyiv Science Academy hit as Russian jet-drones strike across Ukraine
Rescue crews searched the damaged headquarters as officials said the strike killed two scientists and wounded several others.
- On September 28, 2026, a Russian strike hit the Presidium of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine in Kyiv, killing two scientists at the headquarters where researchers and administrative staff gather daily.
- This strike occurred during a broader citywide assault; a drone hit the Dobrobut Academy building in the Shevchenkivskyi district, injuring at least 19 people, including three children.
- State Language Protection Commissioner Taras Kremin condemned the attack, stating, "For centuries, Russia tried to destroy Ukrainian scientists, erase the Ukrainian language from science, and deny our distinct identity."
- Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha warned that "Russia is deliberately expanding the boundaries of what it believes the world will tolerate," while President Volodymyr Zelenskiy urged partners to see this terror as a test of support for Ukraine.
- Russia has recently deployed faster, high-flying jet drones across Ukrainian cities; attacks on business centers in Dnipro and Synelnykove killed four people total, signaling an expansion of targeting beyond military infrastructure.
