Russia pounds Kyiv with drones, killing 2 and wounding 23 hours before Zelenskyy’s UN address

Russian forces conducted a series of daylight drone strikes against Kyiv on Wednesday, resulting in two fatalities and 23 injuries. The attack occurred just hours before Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was scheduled to address the United Nations General Assembly. Black smoke was observed rising over the capital following the bombardment.

The strike represents the latest in a series of ongoing daily attacks targeting the Ukrainian capital. These incidents continue to impact the civilian population as international attention turns toward the diplomatic proceedings in New York.
