Russian Missile Attack on Government Buildings in Ukraine:According to Kiev, a missile launch from Russia was responsible for striking government headquarters on Sunday.
The Ukrainian government's headquarters in Kiev was hit by a ballistic Iskander missile attack on Sunday, September 7, resulting in damages and injuries across the city. The attack was confirmed by Andriy Yermak, head of the presidential administration, on Twitter.
The remnants of the Iskander missile were observed by Katarina Mathernova, the EU ambassador to Ukraine, at the damaged government headquarters. She reported a "huge hole" left by the impact of the missile.
Andriy Danyk, head of the Ukrainian State Emergency Service, reported that 800 to 900 square meters were damaged in the attack. Injuries were also reported, but the exact number of casualties remains unknown at this time.
The order for the Russian attack can be attributed to the Russian military command, but specific details about who precisely ordered it are not publicly disclosed. The attack is part of a broader military strategy led by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
In response to the attack, Kiev called on its allies to impose new economic sanctions on Moscow. U.S. President Donald Trump stated that he was ready to impose new economic sanctions on Moscow.
Notably, this was the first time the enemy had attacked the building of the Ukrainian government. Andriy Yermak discussed the attack with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
It is important to note that the Iskander ballistic missile is frequently used by Russia against Ukraine. This latest attack on Sunday, September 7, was part of Russia's largest wave of drones and missiles against Ukraine since the start of the war in February 2022.
The attack on Sunday resulted in several deaths across Ukraine, causing widespread concern and condemnation from international leaders. The Ukrainian government and its allies continue to work together to address the ongoing conflict and seek a peaceful resolution.
