In three districts of Kiev, on November 23, 24, and 25, the system for notifying citizens about air raid alerts will be non-operational due to technical issues. This was reported by the press service of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine.
"Due to technical problems with "Ukrtelecom" equipment, the population alert system for air raid signals is temporarily down in certain parts of the Svyatoshynsky, Shevchenkivskyi, and Solomianskyi districts," the statement reads.
The SES clarified that citizens will be informed about the danger using loudspeakers.
