Residents of Kyiv are changing how they go about their daily lives in response to Russian jet-powered drone attacks on the city, according to ABC. The Spanish broadcaster reported on the shift in civilian routines on Tuesday, September 29, 2026.
The attacks have not been limited to drones. EL PAÍS reported that Russia is striking Kyiv with missiles and drones at a pace it described as unprecedented in the war. El Mundo reported that Russian jet drones hit the National Academy of Sciences and a large hospital in the capital.
Ukrinform reported that Gorbulin, a former secretary of the National Security Council, was injured in the strike on the Academy of Sciences, and that his assistant was killed. El Correo reported international condemnation of the attack on the Ukrainian academy.
The accounts from the Spanish and Ukrainian outlets describe a capital under sustained pressure, with strikes reaching scientific and medical sites as well as the routines of ordinary residents. ABC's reporting focuses on how those residents are adapting, though the available summary does not detail the specific changes they have made.
What to watch next: whether the pace of strikes on Kyiv continues, and how the international condemnation reported by El Correo translates into further support for Ukraine's air defenses.
