Slovakia summons Russian ambassador after drone strike on SBU building in Kyiv hits near Slovak consular section
On 4 September, a Russian drone struck the headquarters of Ukraine's Security Service (SBU) on Volodymyrska Street in Kyiv, hitting the office of acting SBU head Oleksandr Poklad, who was not present at the time. The attack, which injured multiple people and damaged the adjacent "Sofia of Kyiv" national preserve and Consistoria building opposite Saint Sophia's Cathedral, prompted Slovakia to summon the Russian ambassador in protest because the SBU building is near the consular section of the Slovak Embassy in Kyiv.
