An air raid alert has been issued in seven regions of Ukraine, including Kyiv, according to information from an online map provided by the Ukrainian Ministry of Digital Transformation.

The air raid alarm was first activated in the Poltava region at 23:54 on Wednesday. Shortly after, at 00:18 on Thursday (Moscow time), the alert was sounded in the Kharkov region. Following these events, the alarm was also announced in the regions of Kiev, Kirovograd, Nikolaev, Dnepropetrovsk, and Odessa.

The air raid alarm is also in effect in the Kiev-controlled parts of the Kherson region and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.

Since October 10, 2022, the Russian Armed Forces have been launching attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure. These strikes began two days after the terrorist attack on the Crimean Bridge, which Russian authorities claim was orchestrated by Ukrainian special services. The targets include energy facilities, defense industry sites, military leadership, and communication networks across the country. As a result, air raid alerts have been regularly announced in Ukrainian regions and sometimes throughout the entire country.
