A Russian drone struck the Kyiv headquarters of Ukraine’s Security Service, the SBU, on Friday, in a rare direct hit on a key government building that highlights Ukraine’s dire shortages of air defenses.
The daytime strike - the first time the SBU building has been hit in the four-and-a-half year conflict - came after days of near continuous aerial assaults by Russia on the Ukrainian capital.
The death toll from a Russian attack on a warehouse west of Kiev, the deadliest attack of the war so far this year, has risen to 38, with four people still missing, President Volodymyr Zelensky said on social media on Sunday.
Friday night’s attack on the warehouse, which Ukrainian officials said was used to store ammunition, caused powerful explosions and massive fires that spread to dozens of nearby homes and buildings.
Russia has launched a new wave of attacks on weapons factories in Europe, recruiting members of local criminal gangs and testing NATO’s response.

Ukraine attacks the Moscow region with hundreds of drones. A Wildberries warehouse has been hit again. Information that British drones were used in the attack has caused tension between Moscow and London.
Moscow and the surrounding areas of the Russian capital were subjected to a massive drone attack overnight.
Russia attacked Ukrainian cities with missiles, drones and glide bombs Tuesday, killing at least 10 civilians, officials said, as President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Moscow is getting new military help from North Korea for its more than 4-year-old invasion.
Zelenskyy said Russian forces used ballistic missiles supplied by North Korea in an overnight attack on the southeastern city of Zaporizhzhia, where officials said seven people were killed and 24 wounded.
