Since September 1, the Ukrainian capital Kyiv has faced relentless attacks from Russian drones, with only one night of respite on October 14. The city's 4.5 million residents have been repeatedly forced to seek shelter as sirens blare almost nightly, totaling 43 hours of alerts in the first week of November alone.
Other cities like Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia, and Odesa have also been targeted, indicating a renewed Russian effort to break the resolve of Ukrainian civilians. Ukrainian air defenses recently detected a record 145 incoming drones, showcasing the intensity of the attacks.
