On 6 April 2025, an office building in Kyiv used by Inomovlennya, Ukraine’s state service for foreign broadcasting, was severely damaged in a new Russian strike on the Ukrainian capital, as reported by Inomovlennya. No one was killed or injured in the incident.
The three upper floors of the new building were destroyed, while the lower floors were also significantly damaged and are currently unusable. The impact from the explosion also created a large crater outside the building, as can be seen on photos taken following the incident.
Yulia Bin, the general diirector of Inomovlennya, said in a comment provided to the Institute of Mass Information (IMI), a Ukrainian media monitoring group, that the “premises are now unfit for work”.
According to representatives for Inomovlennya, the attack destroyed a newsroom which TV channel Freedom had recently begun using, after its previous newsroon was destroyed in a Russian strike in February. Several other media outlets which are part of Ukraine’s state foreign broadcasting service also used office space in the building which came under attack. These were: Dim, UATVEnglish, The Gaze, UATVEspañol, UATVArabic, UATVPortuguês and the Inomovlennya digital newsroom.
The missile strike on April 6 was the second Russian attack on newsrooms used by Inomovlennya in the space of less than two months.
