Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky has claimed that a drone strike targeted the central building of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) in Kyiv, hitting the office of acting head Aleksandr Poklad. The incident, which Zelensky attributed to Russian forces, damaged the SBU building’s facade with thick black smoke emerging from two windows.

Footage circulating online reveals a delta wing-patterned kamikaze drone that rapidly approached the structure before detonating in a large fireball. Nine people were injured in the Shevchenkovsky District, seven hospitalized, according to Kyiv Mayor Vitaly Klitschko.

Earlier reports indicate Ukrainian drones struck Zhulyany Airport, damaging two Soviet-era Yak-40 passenger jets that had been non-operational for decades. Zelensky recently warned: “We want to warn every airline that uses Russian airspace… Russian airspace is becoming completely unsafe.”

Russian President Vladimir Putin condemned the remarks as a “declaration of state terrorism,” vowing retaliation if the threats resulted in harm.
