Few in Kyiv believed it was a coincidence that Russia launched such a major attack on the city’s birthday. “Today, the enemy decided to ‘congratulate’ the people of Kyiv on Kyiv Day with the help of their deadly UAVs,” Serhii Popko, the head of the city’s military administration, wrote on the Telegram messaging app. The UAVs, or unmanned aerial vehicles, involved in the attack were Iranian-made Shahed drones, Mr. Popko said.
Thanks to the sense of security provided by the anti-aircraft systems, it was perhaps the closest Kyiv – which largely emptied out at the start of the Russian assault in February 2022 – has felt to its pre-war normal, with much of the population seemingly now having returned to the city.
