Russian drone hits SBU headquarters in Kyiv as retaliation risks rise
🚨 A drone struck the headquarters of Ukraine’s Security Service, the SBU, in central Kyiv on September 4. Ukrainian officials said the strike was aimed at the office of acting SBU chief Oleksandr Poklad, who was not present and remained unharmed.
⚠️ The target carries significant symbolic and security value, as the SBU is involved in counterintelligence and deep-strike operations inside Russia. Zelensky later called for a clear and substantial response that should be symmetrical if possible.
🌍 The attack came after days of continued strikes on Kyiv and just ahead of renewed US diplomatic engagement with Moscow and Kyiv. The incident raises the risk of another round of retaliation and could further weaken near-term expectations for a ceasefire breakthrough.
