An air raid alert has been declared throughout Ukraine due to the threat of ballistic weapons and the takeoff of a Mikoyan MiG-31K aircraft.
According to Ukrinform, this was reported by the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
"Threat of ballistic weapons use from the east!" the statement said.
A few minutes later, the military detected a high-speed target heading toward the Poltava region.
Soon afterward, the Ukrainian Air Force warned of a large-scale threat due to the takeoff of the MiG-31K, which is capable of carrying the "Kinzhal" missile.
Earlier, air raid alerts had been declared in several eastern and northern regions because of the threat of Russian strike drones.
