Russian drone strikes SBU headquarters in central Kyiv, damages UNESCO-protected Saint Sophia reserve
On 4 September 2026, a Russian drone struck the central building of Ukraine's Security Service (SBU) on Volodymyrska Street in central Kyiv, across from the Saint Sophia Cathedral. President Zelensky said the drone was directed at the office of SBU head Oleksandr Poklad, who was not injured. The blast wave damaged the 18th-century Consistory House of the Saint Sophia of Kyiv reserve, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and destroyed the Zavertailo restaurant opposite the SBU building. Mayor Klitschko reported nine people injured, seven of them hospitalized.
