Late on August 28, 2025, a devastating combined drone and missile attack by Russian forces struck Kyiv, killing at least 21 people—among them four children—and wounding dozens more across the city’s ten districts . The bombardment included nearly 600 drones, decoys, and over 30 missiles, making it one of the most significant strikes since the war began . Critical infrastructure suffered heavy damage: the EU mission's headquarters and the British Council's offices were among the targeted sites . The EU and UK have strongly condemned the attack, summoning Russian diplomats, while Ukrainian President Zelenskyy has called for harsher sanctions and noted the assault reflected Moscow's continued rejection of peace talks.
