In the afternoon of Wednesday, July 15, 2026, an air alert was declared in the Kyiv region due to the threat of the enemy using strike drones. Air defense units are actively operating in the region, the Kyiv Regional Military Administration (KOVA) reports.
According to the command of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, as of 17:45, the movement of a high-speed jet drone of the Russian army was recorded in the northern part of the Kyiv region, moving in a southwesterly direction.
Key safety measures for civilians:
-
Staying in safe places: Residents of Kyiv and the region are urged to immediately go to civil defense shelters or follow the "two walls" rule and remain there until the signal about the air threat being lifted.
-
Information silence: It is strictly forbidden to take photos or videos of the work of Ukrainian anti-aircraft missile systems, mobile fire groups, as well as to distribute footage of falling debris on social networks, as the enemy uses this data to adjust subsequent strikes.
As a reminder, Russian occupation forces continue large-scale aerial terror in Ukraine. In particular, during the previous night attack on July 15, the enemy launched two guided aircraft missiles and 122 strike drones of various modifications at Ukrainian cities.
