A Russian drone struck the headquarters of Ukraine’s Security Service (SSU) in central Kyiv on Friday, targeting the office of acting SSU chief Oleksandr Poklad, President Volodymyr Zelensky said. The attack damaged the building on Volodymyrska Street, opposite St. Sophia Cathedral, and injured at least 12 people, according to Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko .

Zelensky confirmed Poklad was unharmed and ordered the SSU to deliver a “tangible response” to Russia. The SSU later stated it would intensify operations against Russian forces in retaliation . Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha called the strike a “major escalation” and urged international partners to increase pressure on Moscow .

The strike occurred as U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner prepared to travel to Moscow and Kyiv for peace talks, with Trump confirming they would carry a proposal to end the war . Ukrainian officials reported a four-day ceasefire along the front line from Sept. 5 to Sept. 8, though air raid alerts continued in Kyiv .

⚡️🇺🇦🇷🇺 – As Ukrainian ground-to-air air defenses face critical lacks of ammunition, another layer of Kyivs air defense is starting to face the same issue: its force of F-16s tasked with downing Russian cruise missiles and drones. The shortage is so bad some pilots now rely exclusively on the planes internal guns during daytime sorties, when its easier to spot an enemy projectile, and the Ukrainian Air Force now tracks missile deliveries to the minute, expecting them to arrive before the next large-scale attack. Ukrainian F-16s have been primarily armed with AIM-120 Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missile (AMRAAM) and the shorter-range AIM-9 Sidewinder, both in critically low supply. @GeoPWatch
