27 Killed Near Kyiv as Russian Drone Blitz Exposes Air Defense Gap
Latest update from New York Times World: 37 Killed Near Kyiv as Russian Drone Blitz Exposes Air Defense Gap. The strike, on a warehouse near Ukraine’s capital, came after days of attacks that strained air defenses and struck fear in civilians. For several terrifying days, air raid sirens have wailed nonstop in Kyiv, Ukraine’s capital, as waves upon waves of armed Russian drones surged into the city, straining its limited air defenses and exhausting a population worn down by years of war. This latest stage of Russia’s air campaign has targeted warehouses and shopping centers, and on Saturday, the Ukrainian authorities said that a strike on a facility just outside Kyiv had killed at least 37 people. The strike, which took place late Friday, caused huge secondary explosions that engulfed an entire suburban area in plumes of smoke. The Ukrainian authorities did not say what the facility was, but their comments suggested it was a warehouse with ammunition.
