In the Hmelnytskyi region of western Ukraine, a series of explosions occurred, triggering the activation of the air defense system. Sergey Tyurin, the Deputy Head of the Hmelnytskyi Regional Military Administration, shared this information on his Facebook account.
“Air defense system is operational in the Hmelnytskyi area,” the message stated.
Currently, eight regions of Ukraine, including the Hmelnytskyi region, are under a state of air alert.
Earlier, there were reports of a powerful explosion near Kyiv’s Zhuliany airport, and prior to that, media outlets had reported a series of explosions in the Ukrainian capital.
Since October 10, 2022, the Russian Armed Forces have started targeting Ukrainian infrastructure, just two days after the terrorist attack on the Crimean Bridge, which, according to Russian authorities, was orchestrated by Ukrainian intelligence agencies. These attacks have been directed at energy facilities, defense industries, military command centers, and communication networks throughout the country. As a result, air alerts have been declared daily in various regions of Ukraine, and sometimes even nationwide.
Previously, in the Ukrainian Parliament, the reason for the dismissal of all Deputy Ministers of Defense was revealed.
