Kyiv adapts to near-daily Russian drone attacks

Nearly continuous Russian drone attacks have become a harsh new reality in Kyiv, making daily life even harder for residents, according to a Reuters report. The strikes are eroding Ukrainian confidence that their long-range drone campaign is turning the war in their favor. The report details civilian impacts, including a couple injured when a drone hit near their car, and a 29-year-old man whose home was damaged, prompting him to leave. Repeated air raid sirens have also halted Kyiv's metro, forcing residents like a nurse and her two sons to wait on crowded platforms. Residents are particularly worried about the approaching winter, fearing more severe power and water outages than last year. The report also notes a recent Russian strike damaged the "Sophia Kyiv" landmark, and Slovakia summoned Russia's ambassador over an attack near its consulate.
