161 drones overnight. Eight wounded in a Kyiv nine-story.

Russia put 161 drones at Ukraine overnight, the Air Force said — Shaheds, decoys, a Banderol. Air defenses knocked down or jammed 138. Strikes still hit 19 places. In Kyiv’s Dniprovskyi district a nine-story caught fire from the ground to the fourth floor. Eight injured there, among them a 64-year-old man and a 57-year-old woman with burns. The War desk files a capital that did not get a holiday because America is marking one.

A woman was killed in the Vyshhorod district of Kyiv Oblast on Friday, regional authorities said. Thursday a jet-powered drone had already hit a Kyiv gas station — the first such strike in the capital — and killed one in Obukhiv. Since the Witkoff-Kushner pause ended, the nights have not stopped. Firefighters in Dniprovskyi had to break off and take cover.

Firefighters were forced to interrupt work and take cover.

The Iran war is the American war this paper has been writing. Ukraine is the other front. Eight people in a Kyiv stairwell on the morning of Sept. 11 is not a ceremony. It is an overnight.
