The warnings extend from the capital Kiev and regions west of it, through all regions to the east, as well as south to the Kherson region and the Crimean peninsula.
The correspondent of “Sky News Arabia” reported the sound of explosions in the Shustki district of the city of Sumy, northeastern Ukraine, in addition to the sirens sounding in Ukrainian cities, including the capital, Kiev.
Ukrainian air traffic control said that the alarm was activated against the background of the flight of strategic bombers of the type TU 22 and TU 95.
Bakhmut was bombarded with phosphorus
Ukraine has accused the Russian military of attacking the besieged town of Bakhmut with phosphorus munitions and released “horrifying” videos of the attacks.
In drone footage released by the Ukrainian military, the sky over the town of Bakhmut appeared as if it was raining white phosphorus shells, which fell on the town.
Ukraine’s Defense Ministry said on Twitter that the phosphorus attack targeted “uninhabited areas in Bakhmut with incendiary munitions.”
The special forces command in Kiev added that Russian forces continued to “destroy the city” in eastern Ukraine.
It’s unclear exactly when the alleged attack took place, but footage shared by Ukraine, apparently taken by a reconnaissance drone, showed tall buildings on fire.
