基辅 -- 上午9点30分，一声巨响震撼了整座城市。黑色的烟雾冲向天空。
KYIV -- At 9:30 a.m., an explosion thundered through the city. Black smoke rose into the sky.
一架无人机撞进了一栋办公楼，该办公楼内设有一家IT公司。三人遇难，其中包括路过的行人，另有许多人员受伤。
A drone had slammed into an office building housing an IT company. Three people, including passersby, had been killed and many others wounded.
“明天可能就是我，”塞尔希伊说，他是一名正在攻读IT工程专业的三年级大学生，站在现场震惊地抬头望着那栋楼。他住在附近的大学宿舍里。
"It could be me tomorrow," said Serhii, a third-year university student studying IT engineering, as he stood stunned, staring up at the building. He lives in a nearby university dormitory.
“我在家里感到一阵强烈的震颤，吓坏了，”他说。“袭击每天都在发生，我不知道接下来会发生什么。”在基辅，这种袭击已经成为日常生活的一部分。导弹和喷气式高速无人机的波浪般袭击日夜不停，不仅击中住宅楼、学校和医院，还击中支撑城市电力、通信和物流网络运行的基础设施。美国制造的拦截导弹短缺进一步加大了乌克兰防空的压力。
"I felt a powerful tremor at home and was terrified," he said. "The attacks happen every day, and I have no idea what lies ahead." In Kyiv, such attacks are a part of everyday life. Waves of missiles and jet-powered high-speed drones strike day and night, hitting not only apartment buildings, schools and hospitals, but also infrastructure underpinning the city's power, communications and logistics networks. A shortage of U.S.-made interceptor missiles is further pressuring Ukraine's air defense.
由于俄军在东线未能取得显著进展，而乌克兰军队在某些地区收复失地，莫斯科似乎正在加强旨在摧毁平民生活根基的袭击。在基辅，防空警报一天要响几十次，爆炸声经常在城市上空回荡。
With Russian forces failing to make significant gains on the eastern front and Ukrainian troops regaining ground in some areas, Moscow appears to be stepping up attacks aimed at destroying the foundations of civilian life. In Kyiv, air-raid sirens sound dozens of times a day, and explosions frequently echo across the city.
9月28日，基辅市中心一座国家科学院大楼在袭击后被火焰吞噬。
A National Academy of Sciences building in central Kyiv is seen burning after an attack on Sept. 28.
就在9月下旬一天，基辅市中心一座属于国家科学院的大楼遭到袭击，黑烟再次笼罩了市中心。两人遇难。消防员正在扑救火焰时，基辅市长维塔利·克利奇科抵达现场。他沉默地站在燃烧的大楼前，未对记者的提问作出回应。
On the day an attack in late September struck a building belonging to the National Academy of Sciences in central Kyiv, black smoke again covered the city center. Two people were killed. Firefighters were battling the flames when Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko arrived at the scene. He stood silently in front of the burning building and did not respond to questions from reporters.
过了一会儿，又传来一声爆炸。这一次，黑色烟雾从学院南侧升起。一架无人机撞上了医院，碎玻璃四散飞溅到附近街道。消防员和救援人员冲向现场。在一家附近的咖啡馆，货架上的商品因震动掉落，一名员工站在那里发抖。
After a while, another explosion was heard. This time, black smoke rose south of the academy. A drone had slammed into a hospital, scattering shards of broken glass across nearby streets. Firefighters and rescue workers rushed to the scene. At a nearby cafe, products had fallen from the shelves as an employee stood trembling.
三天后，一架无人机击中了基辅西部的第12学校。二楼至四楼的墙壁被炸毁，楼梯间裸露在外。所有104名儿童都平安无事，因为他们当时正在地下掩体里上课。
Three days later, a drone struck School No. 12 in western Kyiv. Walls on the second through fourth floors were blown away, leaving the stairwell exposed. All 104 children were safe, as they had been in an underground shelter for their lessons.
基辅第12学校的建筑在10月1日的袭击中遭到严重破坏，二楼至四楼的部分墙壁被炸毁，楼梯间裸露在外。
The building of School No. 12 in Kyiv was heavily damaged in an Oct. 1 attack, with part of the walls blown away from the second to fourth floors, leaving the stairwell exposed.
学校校长瓦伦蒂娜·乔尔纳表示，庇护所足够坚固，孩子们也保持了镇定，这真是万幸。她说，一些母亲惊慌失措地赶到现场并哭泣不止，这促使老师们一个接一个地给家长打电话，安抚他们的情绪。
Valentyna Chorna, the school's director, said it was fortunate that the shelter was sturdy enough and that the children remained calm. Some mothers arrived in panic and burst into tears, she said, prompting teachers to call parents one by one to reassure them.
尽管遭到袭击，学校仍在继续上课。老师们一直密切监控空袭警报和无人机动态信息，一旦有危险逼近，就立即将孩子们转移到掩体里。该地下设施配备有发电机和供暖设备。
Despite the attack, the school has continued to hold classes. Teachers constantly monitor air-raid alerts and information on drone movements, moving the children into the shelter when danger approaches. The underground facility has a generator and heating equipment.
“最重要的是，孩子们想来上学，”乔尔纳说。“保护他们的日常生活是我们的责任。”夜间，数十名居民在地铁站东侧的Dnipro河岸站内的地面上铺开垫子和其他寝具休息。一些家庭已经搭起帐篷，许多人可以看到正在给年幼的孩子哄睡。
"More than anything, the children want to come to school," Chorna said. "It is our responsibility to protect their daily lives." At night, dozens of residents lay on mats and other bedding on the floor inside a metro station on the eastern bank of the Dnipro River. Some families have pitched tents and many could be seen putting their young children to sleep.
一名名叫伊琳娜的20多岁独居女性已经在这里睡了三个月。她每天在晚上10点后到达车站，凌晨6点前醒来，回家洗澡，然后去上班。"我太害怕导弹了，不敢在家睡觉,"她说，看起来精疲力尽。"我可能已经到了极限。"人们在9月30日于基辅东部的地铁站内避难。
A woman named Iryna in her 20s who lives alone has been sleeping here for the past three months. She arrives at the station after 10 p.m., wakes up before 6 a.m., returns home to shower, then heads to work. "I'm too afraid of the missiles to sleep at home," she said, looking exhausted. "I may be reaching my limit." People shelter inside a metro station in eastern Kyiv on Sept. 30.
连接该站与基辅市中心的地铁线路被临时暂停。连接第聂伯河东岸和西岸的南桥（Pivdennyi Bridge）反复遭到无人机袭击，促使当局限制车辆通行并扰乱地铁服务。乌克兰政府表示，计划使用浮桥确保一条替代路线。
The metro line connecting the station with central Kyiv was temporarily suspended. The Pivdennyi (Southern) Bridge, which connects the eastern and western banks of the Dnipro, has come under repeated drone attacks, prompting authorities to restrict vehicle traffic and disrupt the metro service. The Ukrainian government has said it plans to secure an alternative route using pontoon bridges.
随着冬季临近，城市居民正在讨论囤积食物和水，以及暂时搬迁到该国其他地区。自2022年俄罗斯发动全面入侵以来，它在寒冷月份多次袭击乌克兰的能源基础设施。人们担心，今年冬天可能会带来更为严酷的生活条件。
As winter approaches, the city's residents are discussing stockpiling food and water and temporarily relocating to other parts of the country. Since Russia launched its full-scale invasion in 2022, it has repeatedly attacked Ukraine's energy infrastructure during the cold months. Fears are growing that this winter could bring even harsher living conditions.
发电厂受损威胁着电力、供暖和供水。计划中的停电已经在一些地区开始实施，供水中断变得越来越频繁，基辅的地铁有时也会完全停运。自7月以来，俄罗斯还多次针对食品和药品仓库以及数据中心发动袭击，进一步扰乱平民生活。
Damage to power plants threatens electricity, heating and water supplies. Planned power cuts have already begun in some areas, water outages are becoming more frequent, and Kyiv's metro at times has been shut down entirely. Since July, Russia has also repeatedly targeted food and pharmaceutical warehouses and data centers, further disrupting civilian life.
汉娜，一名住在基辅东部的两个孩子的母亲，她说她目前没有疏散的计划。经过四个这样的冬天的考验，她已经做好了应对停电和供暖中断的准备。目前，她正在囤积宠物食品，她预计这种食品将变得稀缺。
Hanna, a mother of two in eastern Kyiv, said she has no plans to evacuate. After making it through four such winters, she is prepared for power outages and heating failures. For now, she is stocking up on pet food, which she expects will become scarce.
士兵们在8月30日于基辅西部准备拦截无人机。"经历了这么多考验，我们已经变得超人了,"她说。
Soldiers prepare to intercept drones in western Kyiv on Aug. 30. "After facing so many trials, we've become superhuman," she said.
被问及对乌克兰城市发动袭击的目的时，一位接近俄罗斯政府的消息人士对《日经亚洲》表示：“无需进行大规模动员[这可能带来政治风险]。如果我们使城市陷入瘫痪，人们就会屈服。前线最终将无法守住。”俄罗斯不仅加强了对基辅的袭击，还加强了对其他主要乌克兰城市的攻击，包括东部的哈尔科夫和南部的敖德萨。
Asked the aim of the attacks on Ukrainian cities, a source close to the Russian government told Nikkei Asia: "There is no need for a large-scale mobilization [which could carry political risks]. If we paralyze the cities, people will submit. The front line will eventually be unable to hold." Russia has stepped up attacks not only on Kyiv but also on other major Ukrainian cities, including Kharkiv in the east and Odesa in the south.
与此同时，一名乌克兰安全官员表示：“人民的韧性是我们力量的源泉。”Eiji Furukawa 是一名特约撰稿人。
