Russia's jet-powered drones bring empty Kyiv supermarket shelves and rattle Ukrainians

Russian forces have launched a fifth consecutive day of attacks on Kyiv and surrounding cities. The repeated strikes on warehouses have left some supermarket shelves bare.

The attacks have involved jet-powered drones, specifically Shahed drones, which struck warehouses in Kyiv Oblast on August 31, injuring four people. Two men sustained shrapnel wounds and were hospitalized.

The strikes targeted multiple warehouses and buildings in the Brovary and Boryspil districts, prompting authorities to warn of a temporary drop in air quality across several nearby towns. Residents were advised to take precautions, including keeping windows closed and limiting outdoor exposure.
