Russia Bombards Kyiv and Other Ukrainian Cities Non-Stop for Second Straight Day

For nearly two days, Russian forces have launched continuous drone attacks on Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities, igniting fires and causing damage as debris from intercepted drones falls across the city.

Drone raids on the capital have been relentless, starting early Saturday morning around 4:30 a.m. and lasting until 2 p.m.

A new wave began at 8 p.m. Saturday and continued until early Sunday morning at 6:40 a.m., with drones flying at low altitudes that evade standard detection systems.

Kyiv authorities reported incidents across the city. Around 1:46 a.m., drone debris caused a fire in an open area in the city’s Holosiivskyi district. By 1:58 a.m., similar debris fell in Desnianskyi, also igniting fires. There were no reported injuries or significant property damage in these incidents.

Kyiv Post correspondents across the city report hearing loud explosions, likely from anti-aircraft defenses, and the distinctive buzzing of Shahed drones resembling a motorcycle engine.

At 6:37 a.m., officials noted that debris in the Shevchenkivskyi district damaged roads, lighting infrastructure, and the glass windows of a dormitory and office building. No fires or casualties were reported.

By 7:50 a.m., the Kyiv Military Administration clarified that the drones had primarily entered the city from the northeast, flying at low altitudes along various routes.
