Russian drone strike kills three near Kyiv, Ukrainian prosecutors say
Ukrainian prosecutors opened a war crimes investigation as emergency crews responded and traffic was restricted after the strike, which killed three and injured four.
- On Tuesday, a Russian drone struck near the Kyiv-Odesa highway in Chabany outside Kyiv, killing three people and wounding four others. The strike hit near a local shopping center, setting several vehicles ablaze during the morning commute.
- Ukrainian authorities have opened a pretrial investigation into alleged violations of the laws and customs of war following the strike. Kyiv Regional Military Administration head Tymur Tkachenko described the victims as civilians simply traveling to work on the busy road.
- Emergency responders, including the Security Service of Ukraine , are documenting the scene while traffic remains restricted on the affected highway. Preliminary reports indicate the casualty count could shift as investigators identify victims and assess damaged vehicles.
- This incident follows a similar attack on September 27 in Vyshneve, where a drone crashed onto a road, killing one person and injuring three. Such strikes increasingly disrupt daily routines and transport across the Kyiv region.
- Russia has shifted toward prolonged waves of smaller drone groups and jet-powered variants, extending the threat beyond short overnight barrages. This pattern keeps residents under air-raid alerts for hours, disrupting civilian life throughout the region.
