Seven horses were killed when a Russian drone strike hit an equestrian club outside Kyiv overnight on Sept. 7, local officials said Sunday.

The attack damaged stables and pastures at the Endurance Horse Sport Club in the Fastiv district, according to Mykola Kalashnyk, head of the Kyiv Regional Military Administration.

Lesia Hordiienko, deputy head of the All-Ukrainian Federation of Equestrian Tourism, said on social media that several of the horses — named Malakhita, Ra Nazran, Bosfor and Mac-Tum — had been preparing to compete in the upcoming Ukrainian Championship. Two horses, Holi and Manuel, survived.

Hordiienko said the stable was badly shaken by the blast. “The building warped, the doors and windows were blown out,” she wrote. “A Shahed strike hit the pastures of the horse club. Apparently, this is also a military target...”

The overnight barrage was part of a wider assault. Ukrainian officials said Russia launched 823 drones and missiles across the country on Sept. 7, with air defenses shooting down 751.

In Kyiv, debris from drones set fire to a government building and damaged residential high-rises in two districts. Three people were killed, including a baby and the child’s mother, and at least 20 others were injured.
