Russian forces on Friday resumed their drone barrage of Ukraine's Kyiv region, hitting more than a dozen apartment buildings and storage depots in a second straight day of aerial attacks, Ukrainian officials said. The attacks stretched into daylight hours, and officials urged residents to stay in safe locations and heed air raid alerts.

Prolonged air raids in Kyiv on Thursday essentially locked down the Ukrainian capital for 15 hours, the Foreign Ministry said, choking the economy and severely disrupting civilian life more than 4½ years after Russia's full-scale invasion. The ministry noted that even longer alerts are a daily reality in regions closer to the front line.

Russian drone and missile attacks are also targeting the power grid, in what Ukrainian officials describe as an annual campaign to 'weaponize winter.' In Ukraine's southern Kherson region on the Black Sea, glide bombs were reported a day earlier, according to officials.
