Largest Russian Air Attack of War Sets Fire to Ukrainian Cabinet Building and Kills Three Including Child

THE GUARDIAN: Unclear if fire at main Ukrainian government building the result of a direct strike or falling debris

Russia’s largest overnight air attack of the war has set the main building of the Ukrainian government in Kyiv on fire and left three people dead, including an infant, Ukrainian officials said on Sunday.

Russia hit Ukraine’s capital with drones and missiles, injuring 18 people and setting scores of buildings on fire, including.

A plume of smoke was seen rising from the roof of Kyiv’s cabinet of ministers building, although it was not immediately clear if the smoke was the result of debris or a direct hit, which would mark an escalation in Russia’s air campaign. Russia has so far avoided targeting government buildings in the city centre.

The building is the home of Ukraine’s cabinet, housing the offices of its ministers. » | Guardian staff and agencies | Sunday, September 7, 2025
