Several fires broke out in the capital, and there are internet outages.
Russia struck the Darnytsia pharmaceutical plant in Kyiv during a massive drone attack during the day on 23 September. The information has already been confirmed by board member of the pharmaceutical company Kateryna Zahorii.
“For security reasons and until the competent services finish their work, we are not commenting on details regarding the nature of the damage or the consequences. At this time we can confirm that there are no fatalities among employees,” she wrote and urged people not to post anything from the site of the attack.
The company itself also urged Kyiv residents to follow information hygiene rules, since the enemy also reads the news.
Overall in Kyiv, as a result of the massive Russian drone attack on Wednesday, two people were killed and at least 25 more were injured, and several fires broke out, Mayor Vitali Klitschko reported. This number includes the casualty and seven wounded from the morning attack.
As of 12:40 it was reported in the capital that there was a strike near the railway station and damage to one of the universities. Thus, the Kyiv City Military Administration confirmed a “strike” in the Solomianskyi district on a retail establishment. It later became known that a market known colloquially as “Shaiba” is burning near the station; several years ago it housed a Velika Kyshenia. The building had stood empty for several years.
Earlier the city had suspected a strike on the station, but Ukrzaliznytsia denied this information: “In connection with reports of a strike near Kyiv Central Railway Station we inform: the station was not damaged.”
After the all-clear, the company noted that during the massive attack passenger train services were not stopped, and boarding and disembarking of passengers at Kyiv stations were conducted via underground passages. They again emphasized that the station was not damaged.
It is also known that a drone hit a 9-story nonresidential building in the Solomianskyi district. This concerns damage to the building of one of the city's higher education institutions.
Later, the city administration also reported a fire at warehouses in the Darnytskyi district of Kyiv.
Private companies also began reporting the consequences of the attack. For example, UTELS stated that as a result of the latest enemy attack one of the capital’s data centers housing its core equipment was damaged.
“Currently the equipment remains without power, which may cause network disruptions and limited access to services. Our emergency repair crews are already working on site and are doing everything possible to restore the equipment and network as quickly as possible,” the provider said.
As for casualties, in the morning four people were taken to hospitals due to the shelling and one injured person later died of their wounds.
Another person died during the second wave of the attack and 18 more people were injured. In total 17 injured from today’s attack are in hospitals.
Recall that in the morning, during another Russian drone attack, the Russians struck two filling stations in Kyiv in the Holosiivskyi and Darnytskyi districts, and also attacked a railway facility.
