President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed that the SBU building on Volodymyrska Street in Kyiv, across from St. Sophia Cathedral, was struck.

I spoke with SBU Director Oleksandr Poklad. Unfortunately, a Russian drone struck the SBU’s central building. All emergency services are on the scene. The drone was directed straight at the SBU head’s office in that building. I instructed Poklad to respond to the Russians’ strike in a proportionate, significant, and—if possible—symmetrical manner once everything is ready.
