A test mobile shelter has been set up in Rivne, and three more are planned

A prototype of a mobile shelter, provided to the city free of charge by the manufacturer, has been installed on Independence Square in Rivne. The automated metal structure is designed to accommodate 15–16 people, equipped with seats, Wi-Fi, lighting, and electrical outlets, and is accessible to people with limited mobility and those in wheelchairs. 

The shelter will open automatically when an air raid alert is sounded.
