Kyiv was once again forced to endure massive missile and drone attacks on Thursday, August 27, with Russian jet-powered drones repeatedly appearing over the Ukrainian capital long after the initial overnight barrage had come to an end.

The attack began as it usually does, with ballistic and cruise missiles launched at targets and drones sent in to overwhelm air defense systems.
