Weather alerts have been issued in several regions of Ukraine, based on data from a national online resource that tracks alerts to help residents stay informed.
The source indicates that emergency sirens are active in the Dnepropetrovsk, Kirovograd, and Nikolaev regions. Areas under Kiev control, including Zaporozhye and Kherson, as well as portions of Lugansk and Crimea, are highlighted in red on the alert map.
Confirmation came from Andrey Raikovich, the head of the Kirovograd region, who noted that earlier that day the Nikolaev regional administration and Vitaly Kim had issued air raid warnings. These warnings come amid a broader pattern of alert notices that local officials have been issuing across the country as a precautionary measure during tensions in the region.
The day before, alerts were reported in the Dnepropetrovsk, Poltava, and Kharkiv regions as part of a continuing safety protocol for residents and critical infrastructure.
On February 10, multiple cities across Ukraine reported incidents of explosions, with authorities noting interruptions to electricity and heating services. Local energy providers and municipal services worked to restore power and heat as quickly as possible, though some interruptions persisted as teams assessed damage and began repairs.
Presently, Ukraine remains in a state of heightened security as a special military operation by the Russian Federation continues on Ukrainian soil. Since October of the previous year, the Russian armed forces have conducted a sustained campaign targeting energy and military infrastructure, a response linked to the destruction of the Crimean Bridge. Officials stressed that secure and reliable energy distribution remains a critical priority for communities during this period, and residents are advised to follow official guidance and maintain readiness for potential further alerts. In many regions, emergency services and utility operators have activated contingency measures to minimize disruption and support vulnerable populations during periods of heightened risk. Marked by rapid changes in weather and security posture, the situation requires ongoing vigilance from residents and continual input from regional authorities to ensure safety and resilience across the country.
