Ukraine drone attacks impact

The objective isn't always physical destruction; keeping millions of people constantly anxious is a weapon in itself. Despite this, Ukrainians are attempting to maintain normal routines even as air raid sirens disrupt daily activities. Russia launched approximately 1,500 drones across Ukraine over a four-day period, and more than half of the launched drones were jet-powered. Kyiv has faced drone attacks for five consecutive days. On Friday, a drone strike hit an ammunition depot near Kyiv, where explosions from the depot strike resulted in 38 fatalities. Air raid sirens have stopped metro trains and caused long delays on platforms as people may spend hours trying to traverse the city during alerts. One mother with two sons is considering sleeping near their school with sleeping bags due to being stranded. I can't imagine the fear they felt with no escape. Source: Reuters / Writer: Daniyal
