A man was killed overnight on September 27 after Russian drones struck Kyiv's Solomianskyi district, according to Ukraine's State Emergency Service (DSNS).

One drone hit set fire to a single-story building housing a car service station. Rescuers managed to stop the flames from spreading to a nearby food service establishment, and the fire was put out around 3 a.m.

At another location, a drone struck a non-residential building. While extinguishing that fire, rescuers discovered a man's body inside. This blaze was also brought under control.

The emergency service noted that earlier the same night, a Russian drone strike had also caused a fire at a warehouse building in the same district.
