Russian drone strike hits central Kyiv hospital injuring three people
A drone has struck a hospital in central Kyiv, injuring three individuals and causing significant structural damage. The attack occurred as Ukrainian officials reported speed disruptions in the satellite communication systems used for defense.
A Russian drone struck the National Institute of Traumatology and Orthopedics in central Kyiv at 3 am, damaging the second floor and an adjacent building while injuring three people. The blast also blew out windows in neighboring structures, including the National Academy of Arts. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy noted that the attack happened as Ukraine experienced speed restrictions on the Starshield satellite system operated by SpaceX. According to Ukrainian officials, these disruptions make it harder for interceptor systems to reach the necessary speeds to shoot down incoming enemy drones.
