Kyiv hit by ballistics again: fire, smoke, and zero sleep

Original version ·

Just when everyone thought they might get a quiet morning, the alarms started screaming.

It seems the neighbors decided that Kyiv needed an urgent wake-up call with ballistic missiles today. The city shook, fires broke out, and one person is currently being looked after by medics.

Ballistics are no joke because they leave almost no time to react, yet somehow the city keeps functioning despite the daily attempt to break its spirit. Most people barely made it to the hallway before the booms echoed across the capital.

It is becoming a regular, miserable part of the routine where the only thing faster than the rockets is the collective eye-roll at the absurdity of it all.
