The alerts lasted for over two hours, sounding at approximately 6 a.m. The Ukrainian Air Force warned of enemy Su-35/Su-34 activity in the north and highlighted the threat of aircraft missile weapons.

There was a specific mention of “missile danger” in the areas where the alerts were issued, citing a potential threat of cruise missile launches from Tu-95MS aircraft. The alert urged residents to take shelter, emphasizing the seriousness of the situation.
