Russian drone strikes continued to hammer Kyiv and the surrounding region for a fifth consecutive day on Monday, with near‑constant air raid sirens disrupting life for millions and emergency crews racing to contain fresh damage.
Early‑morning attacks injured four people and damaged warehouse facilities, an apartment block and a retail outlet, according to regional governor Tymur Tkachenko, who said swarms of drones many jet‑powered have relentlessly targeted the capital in recent days. The sustained assault has killed residents, destroyed homes and triggered massive explosions, including Friday’s strike on an ammunition depot that left 38 people dead.
President Volodymyr Zelensky said the barrage was designed to exhaust Ukraine’s population and defences. He revealed that Russia had launched nearly 1,500 drones in just four days, more than half of them jet‑powered, underscoring the scale and intensity of the campaign.

The attacks extended far beyond Kyiv. In the southern Odesa region, a Russian strike ignited a fire at a terminal operated by private courier Nova Poshta, regional governor Oleh Kiper confirmed. Meanwhile, in Kryvyi Rih, a jet‑powered drone slammed into an industrial facility, injuring two people, local officials said.
As Ukraine braces for further strikes, the country’s emergency services continue to battle fires, clear debris and protect critical infrastructure all while millions endure the psychological strain of round‑the‑clock sirens and the threat of sudden explosions.
