Russia resumes the attack on the capital Kiev after 52 days.

At dawn on November 19th, the military authorities in the capital city Kiev, Ukraine accuse Russia of launching consecutive drone attacks in this area for two nights.

A streak of light from a suspected Russian drone shot down in the skies over the capital city Kiev (Ukraine) early on the morning of November 19th.

"In the early morning of November 19th, Russian drones were launched in multiple groups and attacked Kiev in waves from various directions. Simultaneously, the drones continuously changed their movement directions along the routes," said Serhiy Popko, the leader of the military management agency appointed by Ukraine, on the Telegram channel.

"That is why air raid warnings have been announced multiple times in the capital area," Popko added.

As of now, the local authorities have not reported any serious damage, and there are no casualties. Meanwhile, the Ukrainian air forces claimed that their air defense system had shot down 15 out of 20 Russian Shahed drones in three areas: Kiev, Poltava, and Cherkasy.

Additionally, Popko announced that nearly 10 other drones were shot down in Kiev and the suburbs of the capital. According to Reuters, Russia has not yet confirmed or denied the incident.

Ukraine suspects Russia of stockpiling over 800 missiles in Crimea, including the 'fire-and-forget' Kalibr missiles.

"Loud explosions have been heard from the western outskirts of the capital. Preliminary information indicates that the air defense forces have intercepted some air-to-ground attack weapons," said Kiev Mayor Vitali Klitschko on Telegram.

Last winter, Russia attacked Ukraine with hundreds of missiles and drones, leaving millions of people without electricity, heating, and clean water during the coldest months of the year.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and local officials have warned that Moscow may continue large-scale attacks, targeting Ukraine's civilian infrastructure in the coming winter months.

Ukraine accuses Russia of stockpiling 800 missiles on the Crimean Peninsula ahead of a bombing campaign targeting the country's civilian infrastructure during the winter.
