Reports: Russia strikes Kyiv data center twice, injuring three including two children

What happened

New Voice Ukraine reports that on the morning of September 27, Russian forces struck a data center in Kyiv twice, injuring three people according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, including two children. The strikes were said to occur in rapid succession, but no further details on the extent of damage or the condition of the injured are provided.

Outside Brief is treating this as a source-led account. Any disputed responsibility, casualty figure, battlefield claim or single-source assertion should be treated as unconfirmed/hearsay unless confirmed by another reliable source or a named official. These claims come from a single local public English-language source quoting Zelenskyy and have not been independently verified. The repeated targeting of a data center could signal attempts to disrupt critical infrastructure in the Ukrainian capital, though no confirmation of intent or responsibility is available in the supplied material.

The reported injuries among civilians, specifically children, underscore the sustained risks faced by noncombatants in Kyiv amid ongoing strikes. This may impact international perceptions and response toward the conflict’s conduct and its humanitarian toll.
