The State Emergency Service emphasized that all threat signals are transmitted to regional administrations and from there to street alert systems.
Rescuers assured that the nationwide system continues to function normally, so citizens can rely on loudspeaker signals.
Ukrainians warned about the danger of third-party links
Once again, we urge citizens under no circumstances to follow third-party links or spread unverified information
Recall that on the evening of November 1, users of the “Air Raid Alert” app began receiving notifications about a nuclear and chemical threat, as well as the danger of street fighting.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces’ Air Force reported possible hostile interference with the app. At the same time, the capital’s authorities refuted reports of a radiation threat and assured that “Kyiv Digital” and the street alert system were operating without disruptions.
Citizens are advised to verify information about threats through official channels of government authorities and not to trust suspicious notifications.
