The Kyiv office of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty was affected in the Russian overnight strike on 28 August. The windows in some rooms were broken and some of the equipment was damaged. There were no casualties, RFE/RL reports.
Surveillance camera footage that has surfaced on social media shows that the explosions near the RFE/RL office were the result of direct hits by two missiles, which hit civilian buildings a short distance away from the Radio Liberty office.
“Even though the Radio Liberty office was damaged, fortunately, none of our staff were injured. Rest assured, our journalists will continue their vital work. Our thoughts are with the families of those killed and injured in these attacks, as well as with the Ukrainian rescuers,” said Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty President Stephen Capus.
Tymur Tkachenko, chair of the Kyiv City Military Administration, reported on Telegram that the death of 15 people in the Russian strike had been confirmed as of 12:00, including four children. A search and rescue operation is ongoing in the Darnytsia district. There are 10 children among the wounded. As reported earlier, the office of Ukrainska Pravda was damaged in the Russian mass combined strike on Kyiv overnight on 28 August. The Readeat bookstore was also damaged.
