Russian Forces Intensify Missile and Drone Strikes on Kyiv

The Military of Russia intensified drone and missile attacks on Kyiv, forcing thousands of residents to seek refuge in metro stations during major strikes. The escalation has integrated warfare into the daily routines of the capital's population, who must balance attending school and operating businesses with the need to utilize emergency shelters.

Emergency workers and firefighters continue to respond to repeated strikes across the city. While residents return to damaged homes and businesses, a growing sense of exhaustion and resignation has permeated the population. Despite the ongoing violence, daily life persists through the use of cafes and the observance of a nationwide minute of silence to honor those killed in the conflict.
