Russia Shifts Kyiv Attack Strategy to Include Daytime Drone and Missile Strikes, Intensifying Civilian Strain
Russian forces have altered their drone and missile attack strategy on Kyiv, moving from predominantly nighttime assaults to include daytime operations. This shift, observed since last week, utilizes fast-flying, jet-powered drones, shattering the previous expectation that daylight brought a reprieve from attacks. The change has led to constant disruption, interrupting daily activities such as commutes, shopping, and school, and intruding on significant life events like weddings and funerals. The relentless air-raid sirens and the need to seek shelter are causing widespread exhaustion among Kyiv residents, with some contemplating leaving the city. The new tactics compound the terror of overnight strikes with the added burden of continuous daytime alerts, making it difficult for residents to maintain a sense of normalcy.
