Russia nighttime ballistic missile strikes kill four in Kyiv; Ukraine faces interceptor shortages
Euronews·RU · UA·about 17 hours ago
Russia has altered its drone strike tactics against Kyiv, launching near-continuous waves throughout the day and increasingly using jet-powered Geran drones, which fly faster and are harder to intercept than older propeller-driven Shahed models. Kyiv's interception rate is reportedly falling, though the exact figures are not provided. This tactical shift could degrade Ukraine's air defense effectiveness and signal a broader evolution in Russian strike capabilities.
