- Ukraine will introduce yellow and red air-alert levels based on the type and scale of Russian attacks, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.
- Yellow alerts will primarily cover drone threats and may allow government agencies, businesses and public services to continue operating under certain conditions.
- Red alerts will apply especially to missile or mass attacks, with geographically targeted warnings and different sirens for each threat level.
Ukraine will introduce two levels of air alerts, yellow and red, as it adjusts its response to Russian attacks, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.
The yellow level will primarily apply to drone threats. Under certain conditions, it will allow government agencies, businesses and public services to continue operating.
The red level will be activated especially when Ukraine faces a missile threat, including ballistic missiles, or a mass attack. Sirens will differ according to the level of danger.
The warnings will also become more geographically targeted, limiting disruption to areas considered genuinely at risk. Zelenskyy said the measures respond to what he described as a new Russian tactic of using drones to "wear down civilian life" and disrupt Ukraine's economic activity.
