Russian drones batter Ukraine's Kyiv region, hitting apartments and warehouses for a second day
- Russian forces resumed drone attacks on Ukraine's Kyiv region on Friday, hitting more than a dozen apartment buildings and storage depots in a second consecutive day of aerial strikes.
- The prolonged air raids on Thursday locked down Kyiv for 15 hours, disrupting the economy and civilian life over 4.5 years after Russia's full-scale invasion.
- Russian strikes in the Kyiv region damaged 14 warehouses, 16 private houses, three apartment buildings and 16 vehicles, with one person killed and two wounded.
- Russia is launching small numbers of fast-moving jet-powered drones in waves to paralyze the capital and exhaust air defenses and the population, according to Ukrainian officials.
- Russian attacks are targeting Ukraine's power grid as part of an annual campaign to 'weaponize winter,' with the southern Kherson region facing extended power outages.
Russian forces resumed drone attacks on Ukraine's Kyiv region on Friday, striking more than a dozen apartment buildings and storage depots in a second consecutive day of aerial bombardment. The previous day's prolonged air raids locked down the Ukrainian capital for 15 hours, severely disrupting the economy and civilian life more than 4.5 years after Russia's full-scale invasion.
According to Tymur Tkachenko, head of the Kyiv regional military administration, Russian strikes damaged 14 warehouses, 16 private houses, three apartment buildings and 16 vehicles. The attacks killed one person and wounded two others. A second drone hit one location after emergency crews were deployed, a tactic known as a "double tap" that targets first responders.
Ukrainian officials state that Russia is launching small numbers of fast-moving jet-powered drones in waves to paralyze the capital and exhaust air defenses and the population. Russian attacks are also targeting Ukraine's power grid as part of an annual campaign to "weaponize winter." In the southern Kherson region, officials have urged tens of thousands of residents to relocate to safer areas due to predicted extended power outages from recent strikes on energy infrastructure.
俄罗斯无人机连续第二天轰炸乌克兰基辅地区，摧毁公寓和仓库
俄罗斯军队周五恢复了对乌克兰基辅地区的无人机攻击，连续第二天轰炸十多栋公寓楼和储存设施。前一天的长时间空袭使乌克兰首都被封锁15小时，严重扰乱了经济和民众生活，距俄罗斯全面入侵已超过4.5年。
基辅地区军事行政长官季莫尔·特卡琴科表示，俄罗斯的打击摧毁了14个仓库、16栋私人住宅、3栋公寓楼和16辆车辆。攻击造成1人死亡、2人受伤。应急人员部署后，第二架无人机击中了同一地点，这种被称为"双重打击"的战术针对的是应急救援人员。
乌克兰官员表示，俄罗斯正分批次发射小型快速喷气无人机，目的是瘫痪首都并耗尽防空系统和民众的抵抗力。俄罗斯攻击还针对乌克兰电力网，作为年度"冬季武器化"行动的一部分。在南部赫尔松地区，官员们已敦促数万名居民迁往更安全的地区，因为最近对能源基础设施的打击预计将导致长期停电。
