The Verkhovna Rada, Ukraine's parliament, is preparing measures to ensure continuous operation despite persistent air-raid alerts in Kyiv, the legislature announced on August 31. As the capital grapples with repeated drone threats, parliament's administrative staff is working on steps to maintain uninterrupted proceedings. The Kyiv City State Administration has also prepared several scenarios for organizing classes in schools during prolonged air-raid alerts and other security threats.
On August 31, Kyiv had declared eight air-raid alerts due to the threat posed by jet-powered Shahed drones. Russian forces have been continuously attacking Kyiv and Kyiv Oblast with drones since August 27. Explosions were once again heard in the capital overnight on August 31. Russia attacked Ukraine with one Kh-59 guided air-launched missile and 121 Shahed attack drones, most of them jet-powered, according to Ukraine's Air Force. Ukrainian air defenses managed to neutralize 96 drones.
