Russian drone and missile strikes overnight into September 24, 2026, killed eight people across Ukraine, according to officials. Two died in the capital Kyiv while six others lost their lives at a vegetable storage facility on a farm in the Kharkiv region. The attacks also damaged the facade and windows of a Kyiv maternity hospital, though no patients or medical staff were injured there. Residential buildings and energy infrastructure sustained additional damage in the assaults.

Video footage circulating from the scene shows Ukrainian emergency crews operating cranes to clear large pieces of missile debris from a residential area. Other clips capture responders surveying the nighttime destruction at the maternity ward and surrounding sites. The dual targeting of a major city and a rural farm facility has raised questions about the scope of the overnight barrage, the vulnerability of civilian infrastructure, and the ongoing impact on both urban and agricultural communities in the affected regions.
