2025年9月28日晚間，烏克蘭再度遭遇俄羅斯大規模的空襲行動，持續超過十二小時的導彈與無人機攻擊，讓首都基輔及多地陷入恐慌。根據多家外媒的報導與官方發布的訊息，這次襲擊不僅規模龐大，更被視為自2022年戰爭爆發以來，針對基輔及周邊地區最猛烈的一次攻擊之一。

根據烏克蘭總統澤連斯基在社交媒體上的發文，俄羅斯軍方此次出動近600架無人機，以及超過40枚導彈，其中甚至包括「匕首」高超音速導彈。襲擊的重點地區涵蓋基輔市、基輔州和蘇梅州。澤連斯基強調，這場攻勢持續不斷，幾乎未給城市留下喘息的時間，顯示俄方有意透過密集轟炸對烏方造成心理與軍事上的雙重壓力。

基輔當地居民在夜間便聽見多次爆炸聲，市內一棟多層公寓樓遭到擊中後起火燃燒，畫面在網路上迅速流傳。雖然目前完整的傷亡數字仍在統計中，但官方初步通報顯示，僅在基輔就已有4人死亡，全國各地至少有40人受傷。這些數字還可能隨著搜救進行而進一步上升。

路透社的報導援引獨立觀察人士的說法，指出這是俄羅斯自戰爭爆發以來，針對烏克蘭首都及周邊地區規模最大的一次打擊行動之一，不僅展現出俄方在戰爭進入持久化階段後依舊保有大規模進攻能力，也意在削弱烏克蘭的軍工與後勤支撐。

對此，俄羅斯國防部在同日發布通報，聲稱此次空襲的主要目標是烏克蘭的軍工生產設施與軍用機場，並非針對平民設施。同時，俄方還表示在多地擊落了共41架烏克蘭無人機，其中在庫爾斯克州有12架、布良斯克州10架，其餘則分布於其他地區。俄方的說法意在凸顯其空防優勢與對烏克蘭反擊行動的壓制。

這場突如其來的高強度空襲，顯示出戰爭在短期內難以降溫。對烏克蘭而言，不僅需要面對基礎設施與平民區受到持續威脅的現實，更需承受民心士氣的考驗。而對俄羅斯而言，這次行動除了在軍事上打擊烏方戰力，也帶有明顯的政治訊號，試圖向外界展現其戰爭主導權與長期作戰的能力。

On the evening of September 28, 2025, Ukraine faced another large-scale air assault by Russia, with missiles and drones striking for over twelve hours, plunging the capital Kyiv and surrounding areas into chaos. According to multiple international media reports and official statements, this attack is considered one of the most intense assaults on Kyiv and its vicinity since the outbreak of the war in 2022.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky reported on social media that Russian forces deployed nearly 600 drones along with more than 40 missiles, including the Kinzhal hypersonic missile. The strikes targeted Kyiv city, Kyiv Oblast, and Sumy Oblast. Zelensky emphasized that the relentless attacks left the cities little time to recover, demonstrating Russia’s intention to exert both psychological and military pressure.

Explosions were heard across Kyiv throughout the night, and a multi-story apartment building was hit and caught fire, with video footage quickly circulating online. While casualty figures are still being assessed, initial official reports indicated four deaths in Kyiv alone, with at least 40 people injured across the country. These numbers are expected to rise as rescue operations continue.

Reuters cited independent observers stating that this represents one of the largest attacks on Ukraine’s capital and nearby regions since the war began, highlighting Russia’s continued capacity for large-scale offensives even as the conflict enters a protracted phase. The operation also appears aimed at weakening Ukraine’s military-industrial infrastructure and logistical support.

The Russian Ministry of Defense released a statement on the same day, claiming that the primary targets were Ukraine’s military-industrial facilities and airfields, asserting that civilian areas were not targeted. The ministry also reported shooting down 41 Ukrainian drones in various locations, including 12 in Kursk Oblast and 10 in Bryansk Oblast, emphasizing Russian air defense capabilities and their ability to suppress Ukrainian counterattacks.

This sudden, high-intensity strike underscores that the conflict is unlikely to de-escalate in the near term. Ukraine now faces not only the immediate threat to infrastructure and civilian areas but also the challenge of maintaining public morale. For Russia, the attack serves both a military and political purpose, signaling its operational control and continued capacity for sustained offensive operations.
