Russian missile and drone strikes on Kyiv and other Ukrainian regions between late August and mid-September 2026 killed at least six civilians and injured dozens, hitting residential buildings and infrastructure. The attacks underscore Russia's strategy of attrition against urban centres and highlight Ukraine's need for more air defence.

Russian attacks on Kyiv Oblast have injured seven civilians and damaged dozens of sites in two weeks. Authorities advised schools to avoid mass celebrations for Knowledge Day. The strikes hit warehouses, retail premises and apartment buildings, showing a persistent threat to the capital region.
