Air raid sirens are blaring across Ukraine once again

The entire territory of Ukraine is under a new round of air raid alerts.

According to media reports on August 13, the Ukrainian Air Force issued a statement via social media at 7:20 a.m. local time on August 13, stating that the entire territory of Ukraine is under a new round of air raid alerts.

Since the early hours of the 13th, air raid sirens have been blaring in the Ukrainian capital Kyiv, as well as in the western, central, and eastern regions of Ukraine. Air raid sirens have been blaring four times in Kyiv.

In an earlier statement, it was mentioned that from last night until this morning, Russia launched 38 attack drones and two Iskander-M missiles at Ukraine, and 30 drones were intercepted and destroyed in several regions of Ukraine.

In addition, according to a report by Russia's Izvestia on August 12, Ukrainian President Zelensky demanded at the meeting of the Supreme Commander of the Ukrainian Armed Forces to formulate a plan to obtain permission from Western allies for Ukraine to use Western weapons to attack Russian territory. Earlier on the 12th, Sabrina Singh, the deputy press secretary of the US Department of Defense, announced that Washington may lift the ban on Kyiv's use of the US Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) to strike deep targets in Russian territory. Singh did not rule out that with the development of the situation on the contact line, the scope of the lifting of the ban may expand to any area of the conflict.
