A 14-year-old Israeli citizen was killed in Kyiv on September 25, 2026, when a Russian drone struck an apartment building. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine confirmed the death, citing The Times of Israel. Israel's embassy in Kyiv and the Foreign Ministry's Situation Room for Assistance to Israelis Abroad are in contact with the deceased's family and offering support.
The drone attack on the residential building injured at least seven other people. Across Ukraine, eight regions were targeted within a 24-hour period. In the Odesa region, a woman died from a strike on a postal terminal, and a medical facility in Zaporizhzhia was damaged, necessitating an emergency patient evacuation. Casualties were also reported in the Sumy and Mykolaiv regions.
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba stated that Russia is intensifying attacks on Ukrainian cities and civilian infrastructure ahead of winter. He noted that nighttime shelling in Kyiv, including the use of jet-powered drones, resulted in 20 injuries and damage to the High Council of Justice building.
The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry emphasized the need for increased international pressure, stricter sanctions, and continued defensive aid to protect the population.
