This is a great visualization. It highlights not only the increased frequency of attacks but the extent to which they happen at night and especially pre-dawn hours.
I returned to a Kyiv in August 2023 and in the intervening time I’ve noticed this trend as well. It really takes a psychological toll when you are woken up in the night over and over by explosions or air defense systems firing.
If more westerners had to live this way for a month or two I think it would go along way to a better understanding of the plight (and incredible grit) of everyday Ukrainians.
