A Russian drone hit a petrol station on a busy highway in Kyiv on Wednesday morning (September 23) one day after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy met US president Donald Trump at the United Nations' headquarters.

Several targets across the Ukrainian capital were hit in the mass drone attack, and mayor Vitali Klitschko said 8 people were injured. One of the injured died in the hospital, the mayor added.

Zelenskiy said he discussed efforts to end Russia's war in Ukraine with Trump in New York, including a potential bilateral ceasefire on energy-related targets.
