Russia shifts tactics with round-the-clock attacks on Kyiv, disrupting daily life

independent.co.uk

Russian forces have intensified attacks on Kyiv with round-the-clock drone and missile strikes since last week, shattering the previous pattern of nighttime-only raids and disrupting daily life with constant air-raid sirens. The new tactics include fast-flying jet-powered drones, forcing repeated evacuations from malls, banks, and schools, while GPS jamming disrupts taxi apps and train journeys. Residents report interrupted commutes, shopping trips, and ceremonies, with some weddings proceeding despite nearby explosions. The relentless alerts have exhausted residents, with some like IT worker Ivan Datsiv considering leaving the city after a drone destroyed his neighbor's apartment. Others use meditation to cope, while officials struggle to find effective countermeasures against the new drone threat.
