Details: The speed with which air-raid warnings were issued across all of Ukraine suggests that a MiG-31K fighter jet, possibly armed with a Kinzhal ballistic missile, had likely taken off in Russia.
Yurii Ihnat, spokesman for Ukraine’s Air Force, confirmed this on the national 24/7 newscast.
Ihnat said that this might be a training flight, but the danger of a possible attack must not be ignored. He advised Ukrainians to proceed to the nearest shelter or observe the "two-walls" rule [safety rule whereby a person keeps two walls without windows between them and the street during attacks – ed.].
Updated: An all-clear was given in a number of Ukrainian regions an hour later, around 16:48.
