He also emphasized safety, urging people not to approach downed drones, as 'the warhead can detonate at any moment.' If debris is found, it must be reported to numbers 101 and 102. These drone assaults are part of a sustained campaign targeting civilian infrastructure, which has intensified in recent months.

Ongoing Tensions in Ukraine

The situation in Ukraine remains tense due to numerous drone attacks that continue to threaten civilian safety.
