"Have you been on a plane during severe turbulence, fearing that the shaking aircraft is about to fall apart and tumble down? Brief moments of weightlessness stop your breath; perhaps you whisper prayers and remember everyone you love.
That’s the feeling you get during a Russian air raid in Kyiv, Ukraine – and there have been more than 1,800 of them since Russia’s full-scale invasion began in 2022."

"These days, they are bigger, scarier and longer than ever, because each one involves hundreds of drones and dozens of missiles.
They begin after dark and sometimes last in waves until dawn. Whooshing missiles tear up the night sky in two. Drones buzz like horror movie chainsaws or giant mosquitoes out of childhood flu nightmares."
