Russian drones batter Ukraine's Kyiv region, hitting apartments and warehouses for a second day
- Russian drone attacks on Kyiv region continued on Friday for a second consecutive day, damaging 14 warehouses, 16 private houses, three apartment buildings and 16 vehicles according to regional officials.
- Prolonged air raids in Kyiv on Thursday locked down the Ukrainian capital for 15 hours, disrupting the economy and civilian life, with even longer alerts occurring daily in front-line regions.
- Russian forces are targeting Ukraine's power grid in what officials describe as an annual campaign to 'weaponize winter,' with attacks forcing a combined heat and power plant in Kherson region to shut down.
- The attacks killed one person and wounded two others; a second drone hit one location after emergency crews arrived, a tactic known as a 'double tap' targeting first responders.
- Russia's military claimed it struck a warehouse storing Ukraine's Flamingo cruise missiles and rocket booster fuel, though Ukrainian officials did not immediately confirm the claim.
- Ukrainian officials say 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 drone attacks on Ukraine's Kyiv region continued on Friday for a second consecutive day, with officials reporting damage to 14 warehouses, 16 private houses, three apartment buildings and 16 vehicles. The attacks killed one person and wounded two others, according to authorities. A second drone struck one location after emergency crews had been deployed, a military tactic known as a "double tap" designed to target first responders.
Prolonged air raids in Kyiv on Thursday locked down the Ukrainian capital for 15 hours, significantly disrupting the economy and civilian life. Ukrainian officials noted that even longer air raid alerts have become a daily reality in regions closer to the front line. Russia's military claimed it struck a warehouse storing Ukraine's Flamingo cruise missiles and rocket booster fuel, though Ukrainian officials did not immediately confirm this assertion.
Russian forces are targeting Ukraine's power grid as part of what officials describe as an annual campaign to "weaponize winter." Recent attacks have forced a combined heat and power plant in the southern Kherson region to shut down, prompting regional authorities to advise tens of thousands of residents to relocate to safer areas. Ukrainian officials stated that Russia is launching small numbers of fast-moving jet-powered drones in waves with the goal of paralyzing the capital and exhausting both air defenses and the civilian population.
俄罗斯无人机连续第二天轰击乌克兰基辅地区，摧毁公寓和仓库
俄罗斯无人机周五继续对乌克兰基辅地区进行第二天的轰击，官员报告摧毁了14个仓库、16栋私人住宅、3栋公寓楼和16辆车辆。据当局称，此次攻击造成1人死亡、2人受伤。第二架无人机在应急人员已部署后击中同一地点，这是一种被称为"双重打击"的军事战术，旨在打击急救人员。
周四基辅的长时间空袭导致乌克兰首都被锁定15小时，严重扰乱了经济和民众生活。乌克兰官员指出，更长时间的空袭警报已成为前线地区的日常现实。俄罗斯军方声称打击了存储乌克兰火烈鸟巡航导弹和火箭助推器燃料的仓库，但乌克兰官员未立即确认此声称。
俄罗斯军队正在打击乌克兰电力网，官员称这是年度"冬季武器化"行动的一部分。最近的攻击已迫使南部赫尔松地区的一座联合热电厂关闭，促使地区当局建议数万居民迁往更安全的地区。乌克兰官员表示，俄罗斯正分批次发射少量快速喷气式无人机，目的是瘫痪首都并耗尽防空系统和民众的抵抗力。
