Russia's ballistic missile and jet-propelled drone blitz keeps Kyiv on edge

On Tuesday, Russian forces launched a coordinated aerial attack against Kyiv, utilizing a combination of ballistic missiles and dozens of jet-propelled drones. According to the Ukrainian air force, the assault is part of a broader, ongoing campaign of day-and-night bombardments targeting the capital and other Ukrainian cities.

Moscow’s intensified aerial strategy is reportedly intended to exert significant pressure on Ukraine, aiming to force the country to buckle under the sustained military bombardment. The use of advanced jet-powered drone technology marks a continuation of the high-intensity strikes currently affecting the region.
