Ukraine’s Verkhovna Rada is preparing measures to ensure parliament can continue operating without interruption amid persistent air-raid alerts in Kyiv, the legislature said on Aug. 31.

The parliament’s administrative staff is working on steps to maintain uninterrupted operations as the capital faces repeated drone threats.

The Kyiv City State Administration earlier said schools in the capital had also prepared several scenarios for organizing classes during prolonged air-raid alerts and other security threats.

Kyiv had declared eight air-raid alerts by Aug. 31 because of the threat from jet-powered Shahed drones.

At least six people were reported injured.

Russian forces have been attacking Kyiv and Kyiv Oblast with drones almost continuously since Aug. 27. Explosions were again heard in the capital overnight on Aug. 31.

Russia attacked Ukraine overnight with one Kh-59 guided air-launched missile and 121 Shahed attack drones, most of them jet-powered, Ukraine’s Air Force said.

Ukrainian air defenses neutralized 96 drones.
