Kyiv Under Siege: Sirens Wail Amidst Missile Barrage

Multiple explosions were heard in Kyiv on Wednesday after the military issued a warning about a ballistic missile heading towards the capital. President Volodymyr Zelensky had previously alerted the nation to a potential "massive strike" as winter draws nearer.

Kyiv has seen a surge in attacks, with Russian forces targeting energy infrastructure and transportation networks. Air raid sirens have become a near-constant presence, prompting residents to take cover in shelters and subway stations. Scheduled power cuts were implemented in parts of the city to alleviate pressure on the strained energy grid.
