Overview

• Ukrainian officials said Russia launched about 810 drones and 13 missiles in the Sept. 7–8 attack, killing at least four people, including an infant, and damaging sites across several regions.
• Ukraine reported downing 747 drones and four missiles, yet residential buildings were hit in Kyiv and other cities, with dozens of people injured.
• Kyiv’s Cabinet of Ministers was struck for the first time in the war, and an EU ambassador said an Iskander ballistic missile with cluster submunitions caused the damage before firefighters contained the blaze to three floors.
• Roughly 60 foreign diplomats toured the scorched government offices as President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Prime Minister Yuliia Svyrydenko pressed partners for tougher sanctions and additional air-defense systems.
• President Donald Trump said he is ready to move to a new phase of sanctions, and EU sanctions envoy David O’Sullivan met U.S. Treasury officials to discuss coordinated measures, while Russia denied targeting civilians and claimed it hit only industrial and logistics sites in Kyiv.
