Russia launched new strikes on Kyiv while children were going to school

Russia launched new strikes on civilian targets in the Ukrainian capital, shaking Kyiv on a day when thousands of children were preparing for their first full school day. The city"s morning silence was torn apart by the piercing wail of air raid sirens, which forced schools to halt classes and evacuate their students to the nearest metro stations. This act of aggression once again drew attention to Russia"s cynical disregard for international law and the safety of civilians.

The attack, carried out with ground-to-ground missiles, is further proof of the ongoing strikes on the civilian population and civilian infrastructure. The streets, which are usually filled with the joyful noise of children going to school, were today marked by tension and anxiety, as students and teachers hurried toward the only safe shelters. In the underground metro stations, which have served as makeshift bomb shelters since the beginning of the conflict, panic quickly gave way to an organized evacuation.

The cold walls of the tunnels, instead of being just a transit area, became makeshift classrooms. Students, accustomed to the normal classroom environment, sat on the concrete today, and teachers improvised to hold classes even in these extreme conditions. The school bell was replaced by air raid sirens, and the desks—by the cold walls of the tunnel. Despite the obvious fear and constant danger, the educational process does not stop. Teachers, with fortitude and determination, continue to teach when possible, even from shelters, demonstrating incredible resilience and spirit.

Reports of the attacks were spread through Ukrainian social networks and media, which once again became the main source of information for citizens. These events highlight the Kremlin_q_s aggressive policy, which continues to undermine regional stability and threaten the lives of innocent citizens. While the international community condemns these actions, the residents of Kyiv are forced to live in a state of constant insecurity, where even the most ordinary daily activities like going to school are associated with a risk to life.
