A fresh airstrike alert has been issued across several Ukrainian regions, including Sumy, Poltava, Kharkiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporozhye, and the areas controlled by Kyiv in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, according to data from an online air alert map and a national digital coordination body. These alerts reflect ongoing concerns about potential attacks and are monitored by the country’s Ministry of Digital Transformation.
In 2022, Ukraine reported that air raid alarms were triggered 14,870 times. The ministry noted a higher concentration of alerts in the eastern part of the country, with Central Ukraine following in second place and Western Ukraine in third. Since the onset of the recent military engagement, Kyiv has logged 638 alerts within its capital region.
From October 10 onward, Russian forces have focused attacks on Ukraine’s military and energy infrastructure. President Vladimir Putin has framed these moves as a response to the explosion on the Crimean Bridge and as part of a broader strategy related to Ukraine.”
At present, a Russian military operation is described as ongoing in Ukraine. President Putin announced the launch of the operation on February 24, stating that its objective is to demilitarize Ukraine and to restructure its governing authorities. This course of action has prompted additional sanctions from the United States and allied nations, aimed at pressuring Moscow to alter its approach.
