In Kyiv, residents are dealing with a fresh wave of anxiety as Russian ballistic missiles attack for the second day in a row. There are no alerts before the projectiles hit, causing a growing sense of unease in the city.
Local authorities confirm the strikes, noting that the lack of warning gives little time for people to find shelter. In many neighborhoods, civilians are left to rely on their instincts and hope for safety.
Eyewitnesses describe the sudden blasts and the immediate rush to cover. "We didn't hear any sirens," says Olena, a local shop owner. "It was just chaos, everyone looking for somewhere safe."
The attacks come amid ongoing tensions between Russia and Ukraine, with civilians bearing much of the brunt. The absence of warning systems raises questions about preparedness and protective measures.
Local government officials are urging calm while reviewing their current response strategies to improve alert times and ensure public safety in future incidents.
