Summary

On 27 September 2026, Russia attacked Kyivstar, Ukraine's largest mobile service provider, striking its headquarters in Kyiv and damaging the building. Russia also targeted data centres belonging to Vodafone Ukraine and other internet providers as part of a broader campaign against Ukrainian communications infrastructure. The attacks caused service outages affecting approximately 100,000 households in Kyiv and surrounding areas. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy reported that a data centre in Kyiv was struck twice, resulting in injuries to two children and one adult. Kyivstar confirmed its head office was damaged but stated there were no casualties among its employees. Ukrainian officials characterized the strikes as an attempt to disrupt the country's information flow and emergency warning systems. Russia's Defence Ministry claimed the targeted facilities were connected to Ukrainian military communications, though these claims remain unverified.
