Russia strikes Kyiv petrol station despite energy ceasefire deal

On September 15, 2026, Russia launched a drone attack on Kyiv, Ukraine, hitting a petrol station and warehouse facilities, injuring one person. The attack occurred a day after U.S. President Donald Trump said Ukraine and Russia had agreed not to target each other's energy assets. Poland briefly activated military aviation as a precaution, and Lithuania shot down a drone. In response, Ukraine struck a warehouse in Taganrog, Russia, and a drone hit an industrial facility in Samara. Ukrainian President Zelenskiy said Kyiv would support a ceasefire on energy sites only if Washington ensured Moscow's commitment to ending the war.
