Air defense systems were activated in the Kyiv region in response to a Russian attack
On August 18, the fourth air raid alert of the day was declared in Kyiv and the surrounding region due to the threat of UAVs. Enemy drones were detected in the skies over the Kyiv region; air defense forces are engaging the targets, and residents have been urged to remain in shelters until the all-clear is given.
“Remain in shelters until the air raid alert ends. Ensure your own safety. Observe media silence—do not record or post online the actions of our defenders,” reads the KOVA statement.
Earlier, Ukraine introduced the long-range “Dovbush T40” UAV.
As a reminder, the Russian oil refinery “Orsknefteorgsintez” halted oil processing following an attack by Ukrainian drones on August 11.
