UPD: according to Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko, 31 people were injured in Russian attacks on the capital on September 25, with 15 hospitalized, including two children. Five Kyiv residents were killed, among them one child.

Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko confirmed the strike at 2:43 p.m., stating that the office building's facade was damaged and its windows were blown out.

By 3:03 p.m., Klitschko reported that three bodies had been found in the building's parking lot, where several vehicles were burning, and that seven people had been injured. "The information will be clarified," he added.

Confirmed details from the strike include:

  • The facade of the office building was damaged and its windows blown out in the Solomianskyi district;

  • vehicles were set ablaze in the building's parking lot;

  • three people were confirmed dead at the scene;

  • seven people were injured, with emergency services continuing operations there.

A separate local monitoring channel indicated bodies were visible near the site immediately after the strike, a claim that could not be independently verified.

The Solomianskyi district has already been hit once this month.

A missile and drone barrage on September 17 destroyed a warehouse there and damaged an office building in the neighboring Dniprovskyi district.

The citywide attack injured 20 people and disrupted rail service on Kyiv's circular line.
