This was reported on Monday morning, September 28, by the head of the Kharkiv regional military administration, Oleg Sinegubov, and the city mayor, Igor Terekhov, on their Telegram channels.

Terekhov said that guided aerial bombs struck the Kyiv and Saltov districts in the northeast of the city. As a result, several multi-story buildings were damaged.

Relying on data from the situation center, the mayor announced that in the Saltov district, an aerial bomb directly hit a multi-apartment residential building.

"The strike hit the second floor of the multi-apartment building. It was noted that the second and third floors of the residential building were destroyed," Sinegubov clarified.

The Russian army had also attacked Ukraine the previous night. In Kyiv, one man was killed as a result of a Russian drone attack.

According to the State Emergency Service of Ukraine, rescuers found his body while extinguishing a fire that broke out in a non-residential building in the city's Solomensk district. The fire in the building started after a drone strike.

Also, on the evening of September 27, two people were killed and four others were injured when a drone fell on a market in the village of Sofiyivska Borshchahivka near Kyiv. These preliminary data were published by the mayor of the Ukrainian capital, Vitali Klitschko.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that drone strikes were recorded in several districts of Kyiv that day, and dozens of people were injured.

"Since last night, the Russians have used a total of 277 strike drones of various types. 155 of them were jet drones," Zelenskyy said.
