A Russian drone struck a business centre in Kyiv's Solomianskyi district on September 25, killing four people and injuring seven, while damaging a data center belonging to telecom firm Datagroup. Datagroup said no employees were hurt and customer data was safe, with services shifted to backup sites. Russia's defence ministry confirmed it targeted the facility, alleging it processed military intelligence, and separately claimed strikes on other providers including New Telco, United DC, Kyivstar and Parkovyi, with Ukraine's digital ministry reporting about 100,000 households lost internet access after related attacks.

A new methodology integrates multiple existing data sources—Sentinel-1 radar-based damage detection, Overture Maps building footprints, VIINA territorial control data, and UCDP fatality records—to analyze building destruction across Ukraine from March 2022 to October 2023. The approach disaggregates damage data from 10-meter pixel grids down to individual building level using over 26 million mapped footprints, mostly sourced from Microsoft's ML Building Footprints and OpenStreetMap.
