Air Raid Alert Across Ukraine
On the evening of March 28, a nationwide air raid alert was declared across Ukraine following the takeoff of a MiG-31K aircraft, posing a threat of a 'Kinzhal' hypersonic missile launch. Reports indicate the missiles were fired towards the regions of Zhytomyr and Khmelnytskyi.

This alert comes in the wake of a massive Russian attack on Ukraine that occurred on March 24. During that assault, the aggressor launched one of its largest attacks to date, employing over 550 strike drones. As of the morning of March 25, seven of the 27 people injured in Lviv remained hospitalized. In the Vinnytsia region, the number of injured rose to 18, with two in serious condition and four in moderate condition.
Threat to the Civilian Population
