A Russian drone struck the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine in central Kyiv, setting the building ablaze and killing one person, Al Jazeera reported. The attack came amid an intensified Russian missile and drone campaign against the Ukrainian capital and other cities.
A separate Russian drone hit a Kyiv school on Thursday morning, but no one was injured because children were sheltering in the basement, Mayor Vitali Klitschko said, according to The Guardian. Kyiv has reported difficulty intercepting Russian ballistic missiles and new jet-powered drones that are being launched against Ukraine daily.
Ukraine continued its own long-range campaign against Russian military and energy infrastructure. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Ukrainian forces struck an oil facility in Russia’s Samara region, a Russian vessel in the Black Sea, and a drone launch and storage site in the Oryol region. U.S. President Donald Trump has urged Ukraine to stop attacking Russian refineries, arguing that the strikes are contributing to higher fuel prices, while energy analysts cited by The Guardian said the war in Iran and broader oil-market disruption were the main drivers.
Ukrainian attacks have also disrupted Russian shipping. Russian exports to Turkey fell about 40% in August from July, to $1.93 billion, amid strikes on ports on the Black Sea and Sea of Azov, The Moscow Times reported, citing Vedomosti, Turkish data and industry officials. Turkey has proposed an agreement to halt attacks on shipping, but the Kremlin said substantive negotiations were not underway.
