Description

"In many ways, the fighting in Ukraine had felt far from Kyiv over the past few months as the rhythm of life shifted to a new sort of normal after Russian forces retreated from the suburbs and other areas in Ukraine’s northeast in the spring. But Monday brought many residents back to the fear of imminent attack, to the uncertainty of war. By late morning, after a barrage of Russian strikes, at least five people were dead, dozens of others were injured, and Ukraine’s capital, Kyiv, was grappling with a series of seemingly indiscriminate attacks at its heart. Countrywide, at least 14 people were killed on Monday, the Ukrainian authorities said, by attacks that also knocked out power and other key services in multiple cities. The barrage of strikes was the first to hit central Kyiv in months. The searing sound of incoming rockets and the thud of their impact viciously shook the capital from the relative calm that had prevailed for many weeks. An hourslong air alert remained over the city. Subway stations that had been packed just a day earlier with weekend shoppers were again full of people on Monday, but this time with thousands taking shelter, anxiously waiting underground and bracing for the echoes of the next blast." 10/11/22 https://www.nytimes.com/2022/10/10/world/europe/ukraine-kyiv-russia-missiles.html
