Kyivstar added that its team is assessing the damage and working to fix it. It’s the second telecom facility in Kyiv damaged by a Russian strike in less than a week: on September 8, a missile hit the office and warehouse of telecom equipment supplier DEPS.

Despite the attack, Kyivstar’s mobile network kept running, and the company said it continues serving subscribers across the country.
