> BBC Verify analysis of government data shows Kyiv is experiencing more daily air raid alerts than at any point since Russia’s full-scale invasion began in 2022. Since round-the-clock attacks started in late August, alerts have sounded an average of 10 times a day, disrupting schools, businesses and transport. Russia is also using faster jet-powered drones, prompting Ukraine to seek new interceptors.
