Kiev is becoming the ‘city that never sleeps’ – for all the wrong reasons.
Back when Ukraine had sufficient amounts of air-defense missiles, Russian forces used to send the largest-possible combined missile-drone attacks, to overwhelm these defenses, and strike the designated targets.
But, now that the stockpiles of Patriot interceptor missiles are all but over, Moscow has changed the approach: smaller strike packages are being sent at intervals, making life in the capital starting to become unbearable.
Sources both Ukrainian and Russian confirm that Kiev has been struck by missile and raids for three days straight.

Politico reported from the ground:
“Over the past two days, however, the alerts did not end at sunrise; they droned on into the day and the following night. It’s a nerve-wracking wailing, on top of explosions and the knowledge that your life is constantly under threat.
Kiev has survived more than 20 air raid alerts since Thursday night. Some were an hour long, while others lasted for up to 10 minutes.”
Other reports say air raid alerts sounded around 30 times in the capital over two days.

Among the strikes on military-related targets in Kiev and suburbs, a facility ‘storing components for Ukraine’s long-range Flamingo cruise missiles’ was hit, according to the Russian Defense Ministry.
RT reported:
“The statement came after a series of powerful secondary explosions tore through a warehouse complex near Kiev on Friday night, with videos circulating on social media showing fireballs flying off for hundreds of meters.
The next morning, the Russian Defense Ministry confirmed the strikes, saying the attack, which involved missiles and drones, hit the Fim Service transport and logistics center in the Kiev suburb of Chaiky. The facility was used for storing Flamingo missiles, it added.
Another logistics center in Kalinovka, Kiev Region, was also hit, the ministry said, noting that the facility hosted a customs terminal responsible for distributing Western-supplied military cargo.
[…] The Russian Defense Ministry has repeatedly vowed to carry out ‘systematic and consistent strikes’ on Ukraine’s military-industrial facilities in retaliation for Kiev’s ‘terrorist attacks’ on Russian civilian targets. Moscow has maintained that it never targets civilians.”
