In Kyiv, which again fell under Russian bombardment on Monday, “black smoke filled the air,” Luke Mogelson writes. “Firefighters doused flames, soldiers carried the wounded to nearby ambulances, and everyone, it seemed, kept an anxious watch on the sky.”
Video footage shows central Kyiv reeling from the Monday-morning attacks., the Ukrainian capital again fell under Russian bombardment, this time from a swarm of drones. A little after dawn on Monday, several Iranian-made kamikaze drones exploded in the city center; according to Ukrainian officials, more than two dozen others were shot down. At least four people died.
Russia, which some Western analysts believe is running low on precision munitions, appears to be using the Iranian-made crafts as an alternative. Iranian officials have denied providing Moscow with the weaponry, but American officials say they have been doing so since late summer. One of the drones hit an office building next door to a heating-and-electricity plant that was targeted in a missile strike on October 10th.
