Russia is increasingly using jet-powered Geran drones to attack Ukrainian cities, posing a new challenge for air defenses.

Faster and capable of flying at higher altitudes than earlier drone models, they are harder to intercept.

Ukrainian officials say Moscow is producing the drones on a large scale to overwhelm air defenses and exhaust missile stockpiles.

As attacks intensify around Kyiv, residents and emergency crews are adapting to a new reality of air raid alerts and strikes occurring around the clock.
