In a significant escalation, Russia has launched drone and missile attacks on Kyiv for the first time since August, targeting the Ukrainian capital. Local air defense volunteer units, equipped with outdated weapons, are on high alert to intercept these threats. Despite the challenges posed by cheap but deadly drones, which have increased in frequency, the defenders remain resolute in their commitment to protect their homeland. Recent reports indicate successful interceptions of missiles and numerous drones, yet the fight continues as Ukrainian troops prepare for ongoing assaults against their forces.
