Did a Russian drone hit Ukraine’s SBU headquarters in Kyiv?

Yes. On September 4, 2026, a Russian drone struck the central headquarters of Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU) on Volodymyrska Street in Kyiv, opposite St. Sophia Cathedral, according to President Volodymyr Zelensky. He said the drone was aimed at the office of SBU chief Oleksandr Poklad; the SBU said Poklad was unhurt.

Kyiv authorities reported at least a dozen people injured, with several hospitalized, and firefighters extinguished a blaze at the damaged building. Zelensky ordered an “appropriate, tangible” response, and Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha called the daytime strike a major escalation ahead of planned U.S. mediation talks.
