Russia hits petrol station, warehouse facilities in Kyiv, Mayor says

A drone hit a petrol station in Ukraine’s capital of Kyiv early on Tuesday (September 15, 2026), Mayor Vitali Klitschko ‌said on the Telegram messaging app, adding that there was also a strike on ‌warehouse facilities in another part of the city.

A ‌Reuters ⁠witness heard an explosion in Kyiv.

The attack ⁠comes after U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday (September 14) that Ukraine and Russia had agreed not to hit each other’s energy ​targets.

Russia has recently ‌started hitting petrol stations in Kyiv, expanding the range of target facilities. In recent months, Russia hit some 300 petrol stations, mainly in or near ‌Ukraine’s frontline regions.

As Moscow was striking Ukraine, neighbouring ​Poland has commenced military aviation operations as a preventive measure to secure its airspace, Poland’s ⁠Armed Forces said in a statement on social media website X.
