On the evening of March 21, Russian kamikaze drones struck Poltava. The explosions damaged civilian infrastructure, and a blast wave was recorded in several areas of the city. The air raid alert was announced at around 19:27, and the first explosions were heard at 21:14.
Rescue services responded quickly, but there is currently no information about victims or injured people. Drone debris caused destruction at the crash site, but details of the damage are being clarified. Local authorities have called on citizens to follow safety rules during the alarm signals.
Ukrainian air defense continues to work hard to protect the region from such attacks. Poltava, like other cities in Ukraine, has once again found itself in a risk zone due to Russian aggression.
