In Kyiv, a building used as the residence of the Saudi Arabian ambassador was damaged as a result of a Russian attack, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported on 27 September. Other damage in the capital included damage to educational establishments, homes, car repair workshops, warehouses and communications facilities. The President confirmed that there had been fatalities and dozens of casualties, without specifying the final number of victims.<\/p>\n
Briefly about the main points<\/strong><\/p>\n The President\u2019s statement refers specifically to the house used as the ambassador\u2019s residence, not to the premises of the Saudi Arabian embassy. The extent of the damage and the circumstances of the attack Zelensky<\/strong> did not specify.<\/p>\n He also did not say whether there were people in the house at the time of the attack or whether anyone in the residence had been injured. Under the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, the private residence of a diplomatic agent enjoys the same protection and immunity as the premises of the mission.<\/p>\n In Kyiv, according to Mr Zelenskyy, Russian jet-powered drones struck two nurseries, two schools, a residential building, a service station, warehouses and communications facilities. The President did not provide details of the specific damage to each of these sites.<\/p>\n A sports school has been damaged in the Dnipropetrovsk region, and a regional children\u2019s home has been damaged in the Sumy region. The Head of State described the attacks on civilian targets as acts of terrorism and called on partners to step up pressure on Russia.<\/p>\n\n
