Russian Drone Strikes Ukraine Security Service HQ in Kyiv

In early September 2026, a Russian drone struck the headquarters of Ukraine's security service (SBU) in central Kyiv, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. The attack caused significant damage and resulted in dozens of casualties, as part of a broader wave of Russian drone strikes that have overwhelmed Ukrainian defenses. The strikes come as Ukraine braces for a difficult winter, with air attacks expected to continue, and as US officials were reportedly preparing to discuss the war with Ukrainian counterparts.
