A Russian missile strike on Kyiv overnight has resulted in the deaths of 15 individuals and significant damage to buildings housing the European Union's delegation and British Council offices. The attack occurred early Thursday, August 28, 2025, as tensions continue to escalate between Russia and Ukraine.
Emergency services reported that the strike targeted multiple locations within the city, with the EU and UK diplomatic missions sustaining considerable damage. Fortunately, staff members were unharmed, according to initial reports. The Ukrainian government condemned the attack, calling it a blatant act of aggression against international representatives.
This incident follows a series of similar strikes in recent weeks, raising concerns about the safety of foreign diplomatic missions in Ukraine. Earlier coverage indicated that similar strikes had previously threatened the EU delegation, with staff remaining safe after a missile strike near the compound. The ongoing conflict has prompted heightened security measures for foreign diplomats in the region.
In response to the attack, the UK has summoned the Russian ambassador to London, while the EU has called for the Russian envoy to explain the deliberate targeting of diplomatic offices. The international community is closely monitoring the situation as Ukraine continues to face ongoing aggression from Russia.
