Russian drone barrage on Kyiv enters fifth day, disrupting life across capital
Ukraine says 800 jet-powered drones were launched in four days as Russia shifts to faster attacks that strain air defenses and disrupt daily life.
- On Monday, Russian forces battered Kyiv and surrounding cities for a fifth straight day, leaving supermarket shelves bare after repeated strikes on warehouses as Ukraine reels from jet-powered drone attacks.
- Between Thursday and Sunday, Russia fired almost 1,500 drones at Ukraine, with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy noting around 800 were jet-powered. Russia has intensified these aerial attacks in recent months, more than four years after the invasion began.
- Aerial attacks struck several warehouses in Brovary and Boryspil, wounding four people, according to Tymur Tkachenko, head of the regional military administration. Russia simultaneously persists in targeting Ukraine's power grid, seeking to deprive civilians of water and heat.
- Acting regional Gov. Alexander Shuvayev reported a Sunday missile attack on Belgorod that killed three people. In Yekaterinburg, regional Gov. Denis Pasler reported four wounded from a Ukrainian drone attack.
- Zelenskyy stated Sunday that Russia aims to "wear down" the population. The Education Ministry reported earlier this month that Russian attacks destroyed about 1 million textbooks, potentially delaying school deliveries.
