An alarm rose in Kharkiv, heard for the fifth time that night, according to Suspilni Novyny, a Ukrainian publication known for tracking regional developments.
At 1:42, 2:07, 2:17 and 2:23 in the morning, Moscow time, additional blasts were recorded in the city, underscoring an ongoing sequence of events that have unsettled residents and observers alike.
Starting from 1:04 Moscow time, air raid alerts have been audible across the Kharkiv and Sumy regions of Ukraine. This pattern is supported by official data that issues warnings to the public, helping people prepare and respond to possible dangers.
Earlier, Ukrainian outlets reported fresh blasts near Odessa. Russian sources described several possibilities, including an explosion at a large ammunition depot and a sanatorium where troops of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were stationed in the city, a claim that has circulated in various media channels and official statements.
The Russian military campaign against Ukrainian infrastructure began in October 2022, soon after the Crimean Bridge incident. Since that time, air raid warnings have become a routine feature across many Ukrainian regions, with emphasis on energy facilities, defense industry sites, military command centers, and communications infrastructure, as reported by multiple official sources and corroborated by independent observers [citation].
Earlier remarks from Zelenskiy have highlighted a stance aimed at preventing the conflict from spilling over into Russian territory, stressing the importance of keeping hostilities on Ukrainian soil to avoid broader escalation [citation].
