Journalists were on the air - Russian drone strikes TV station

A Russian drone strike hit the building of the Ukrainian TV channel 'We Are Ukraine' in Kyiv while journalists were live on air, causing partial destruction and at least five injuries. The attack occurred during the news program 'United News,' prompting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to condemn the assault as part of Russia's escalating aggression against media outlets. He called for a strong European and global response, emphasizing that such attacks on civilians must not go unpunished. The incident marks the second major attack on the broadcaster's premises within weeks, following damage sustained in an earlier airstrike on August 20. Local authorities reported at least three deaths and multiple injuries across various targeted buildings in Kyiv during these strikes.
