An overnight Russian attack on Kyiv using drones signaled a sinister tactical shift, denying residents of the capital not just power, heat, or water but also sleep.
KYIV, Ukraine — Russia attacked Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities in the early hours of Monday with a horde of self-detonating drones — once again bombing critical infrastructure but with a sinister tactical shift that seemed intended to deprive Ukrainians not only of heat, electricity, and water but also of sleep.Air raids sirens rang out in Kyiv at 2 a.m., the shrill sound amplified by the emptiness of the capital’s streets during its overnight curfew.
“All night, enemy UAVs tried to break into energy facilities throughout the country,” Ukraine’s main power grid operator,” Ukrenergo said in a statement. “Thanks to the professional work of the Air Defense Forces, the enemy did not fully achieve its goal, but, unfortunately, there are several hits on infrastructure facilities.”
Dnipropetrovsk Governor Valentyn Reznichenko said on his Telegram channel that Russian forces attacked his southeastern region with “drones, heavy artillery and Grad rockets.” In the southern Mykolaiv region, the head of the regional council Hanna Zamazeeva, said that Ukrainian air defense forces “shot down 10 Iranian-made Shaheed-136 drones.”
Russia has previously targeted Ukrainian with drone strikes, most recently in the southern port city of Odessa.
