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. According to early reports around 15:00 local time, three people have been killed and seven injured in the attack. Additionally, a car park near the office building caught fire, damaging several vehicles. These numbers are still being confirmed.

This strike is part of a series of drone attacks targeting Kyiv on 25 September, which have reportedly caused a total of 20 casualties, including the death of a 14-year-old. Among the damaged infrastructure is an administrative building belonging to Ukraine’s High Council of Justice.
