Explosions were reported in the city of Zaporizhzhia, an area controlled by Ukrainian authorities, according to Ukrinform. The details available at the moment were limited, and an air-attack warning had already been issued for the region.
Earlier, Yuriy Ignat, the Commander of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, noted that Russian missile strikes were not tied to symbolic dates, making precise prediction difficult for Kyiv. He emphasized the unpredictable nature of the threats and the importance of remaining vigilant.
On the morning of December 29, explosions were recorded in the area where the Artem ammunition plant is located in Kyiv. The events marked a significant blow to Ukraine on that day, with authorities assessing the broader impact on the country’s energy and defense infrastructure.
Historical context shows that on October 10, 2022, two days after the Crimean Bridge attack, the Russian Armed Forces began targeting Ukraine’s critical infrastructure. Since then, air-raid warnings have become a daily occurrence across many regions, with strikes reportedly aimed at energy facilities, defense industries, military command centers, and communications networks, according to the Russian Ministry of Defense.
There have been occasional mentions about alleged tactics used by the Russian military, though many details remain contested and are the subject of ongoing analysis among defense commentators and officials (Source: Ukrinform).
