On the morning of September 28, 2025, a Shahed drone struck and exploded on the territory of the “Spasinnya” (“Salvation”) Evangelical Church in the city of Vyshneve, Kyiv region. The blast and debris damaged the church building, youth center, and main hall. Two church-owned vehicles were destroyed, while four cars belonging to church leaders were damaged, and one vehicle was completely burned out. Fortunately, no members of the congregation were injured.

That day, the “Spasinnya” Church had planned a festive Sunday service dedicated to the 32nd anniversary of the local congregation and the opening of a new large worship hall. Despite the damage, the scheduled celebration took place, gathering thousands of believers.

It should be recalled that earlier, as a result of Russian missile and drone attacks on Kyiv, the premises of Protestant churches, Muslim mosques, and places of worship of other denominationshad also been damaged.
