The New York Times: Κύματα επιθέσεων στο Κίεβο

Waves of strikes on Kyiv
Russia unleashed three attacks in 24 hours on the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, culminating in explosions early this morning that killed at least one and prompted evacuations. At least three people were injured. It was not immediately clear whether the damage was from the debris of intercepted attacks or from direct hits by the drones.
The attack came after a barrage of 11 ballistic missiles around midday yesterday, sending residents racing for cover. Though all 11 missiles were quickly shot down, the attack was a grim reminder that while the front line may be hundreds of miles to the east, the Ukrainian capital of 3.6 million still has a Russian bull’s-eye on it.
Even as Kyiv, aided by Western allies, builds up its air defense system, Russian forces are intent on testing it for soft spots. They have changed the timing of bombardments, the combination of weapons used and the trajectories of missiles and drones, lately flying them low along riverbeds and through valleys to avoid detection, Ukrainian officials say.
Targets: Russian officials have often denied aiming at civilian areas. They said the strikes on Monday had been destined for air bases, and Ukrainian officials said Moscow did hit at least one military installation, damaging an airfield in Khmelnytskyi, in western Ukraine.
