Ukraine’s storage capacity down 90% as drones pound Kyiv

Russian jet-powered drones have hit warehouses and logistics hubs around Kyiv for a second straight day. The strikes are part of a broader campaign that has already wiped out 90% of Ukraine’s modern commercial storage capacity. The attacks mark a significant escalation in the Russo-Ukrainian war, now in its 1,647th day. Kyiv remains under nonstop assault, with explosions reported across the capital’s outskirts. Ukrainian officials say the repeated strikes are designed to cripple supply chains and weaken the country’s ability to store grain, equipment, and humanitarian aid. The loss of 90% of modern storage facilities creates severe bottlenecks for both military logistics and civilian goods. Residential areas have not been directly targeted in this latest wave, but the psychological toll is mounting. Air raid sirens have sounded continuously, and many residents have spent a second night in shelters. The drone attacks follow a pattern seen in recent weeks: Russian forces using cheaper, jet-powered unmanned aircraft to overwhelm Ukrainian air defenses. These drones are faster and harder to intercept than older models, allowing them to strike deeper into the country. Kyiv’s mayor has urged residents to remain vigilant as the strikes continue. There is no immediate sign of a pause in the offensive.
