New details emerge on Russia’s attack on Kyiv security headquarters

Ukrainian specialists have identified the drone that struck the Security Service of Ukraine headquarters in Kyiv as a Geran-4, according to Serhiy Beskrestnov, an adviser to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on technology development.

Beskrestnov, who uses the call sign “Flash,” shared details of the investigation on Facebook, as reported by rbc.ua. He said versions circulating on Russian social media claimed the attack had been staged using a small drone, but the available evidence did not support that explanation.

“All systems recorded the flight of this jet-powered drone from Donetsk to Kyiv at an altitude of more than 7 kilometers,” Beskrestnov said. Ukrainian specialists examined the wreckage and identified both the drone’s type and its configuration.

He also said two jet-powered drones flew toward Kyiv side by side during the operation against the SBU. Only one of them reached the Ukrainian capital.

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha called the attack a serious escalation of the war and said it showed Moscow’s complete rejection of diplomacy. The SBU threatened Russia with an inevitable response.
