Kiev under constant threat: Russian attacks come at any hour

SIC Notícias11 September 2026 at 22:05

At least two people died this Friday in new Russian attacks against the Ukrainian capital. Kiev was once again targeted by bombings that caused fatalities, raising the toll of human losses in the city.

Russian attacks on the capital of Ukraine have intensified significantly. The bombings now hit Kiev practically at any hour of the day or night, leaving the population in a constant state of alert and fear.

The civilian population is the most affected by these indiscriminate attacks. With bombings occurring without a fixed schedule, residents of Kiev face extreme difficulties in protecting themselves, as there are no moments of guaranteed safety in the city.

The situation in Kiev illustrates the escalation of violence in the conflict in Ukraine. The capital, which was relatively protected at certain points during the war, now faces constant military pressure from Russian forces.
