Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko says Russian strikes have damaged 4,000 of the city's 12,000 apartment buildings since the full-scale invasion began, with each attack costing the capital's budget roughly $11.2 million. He said strike intensity is increasing, with cruise missiles, ballistic missiles and drones now arriving nearly twice a week.

The city is expanding mobile shelters ahead of winter, though Klitschko noted only purpose-built bomb shelters offer real protection against missile strikes, and Kyiv doesn't have enough of them. A massive August 20 strike killed 15 people and injured dozens, prompting a citywide day of mourning the next day.

The full dispatch is available from the source below.
