Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said in a 16:58 local-time update on September 23 that an attack on Ukraine's capital had killed two people and injured 43. In another update, he reported that an unmanned aerial vehicle fell on the grounds of a nonresidential complex in the Pecherskyi district, while a warehouse building caught fire in Sviatoshynskyi because of the attack. An earlier post said one man died in hospital and another person was killed, and gave an injury count of 22; the later tally of 43 injured reflects an increase during the day.
