KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — By day, the Ukrainian capital hums with life — crowded metros, dog walkers and children on playgrounds. By night, Kyiv becomes a battleground as Russia unleashes relentless drone and missile attacks that chase much of the population underground for safety.

Kyiv is trying to blunt Russia’s grinding advance with a new generation of quadcopters steered by long coils of ultrathin and highly versatile wire.

Israel and Ukraine have used drones against their adversaries in audacious ways that have helped the Pentagon see the need for new technology.

Russia has recently sought to overwhelm Ukraine’s air defenses with major attacks that include increasing numbers of decoy drones.

Unknown drones attacked the temporarily occupied towns of Svatove and Starobilsk in the Luhansk region on Tuesday, July 8, according to Roman Vlasenko, head of the Siverskodonetsk District Military Administration.
