Russian drone strikes targeted Kyiv overnight Nov. 24-25. Authorities announced that at least 60 projectiles were shot down. Affected locations by the strikes include the Solomyansky and Pechersky districts. Reportedly, at least five people were injured. The strikes also caused power blackouts in parts of the capital, which has been restored since.
Emergency services will likely remain in the affected areas through Nov. 25. Localized ground travel disruptions are likely. Further Russian drone and missile attacks against Ukraine are likely in the coming days.
Avoid travel to active conflict zones in the Kharkiv, Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson regions of Ukraine; consider leaving these areas by available ground transport if safe to do so. Exercise extreme caution if operating anywhere in Ukraine. Download the AirAlert mobile application to receive an air alert notification in your chosen city or region of Ukraine from the Civil Defense System. You should shelter in place if there is fighting or airstrikes in the area. Stay away from windows and exterior walls if officials report incoming rocket or artillery fire. Follow the instructions of local security personnel, especially when instructed to seek refuge in air-raid shelters. Maintain contact with diplomatic representations. Due to the threat of unexploded ordnance, avoid off-road travel. Travel on well-used routes only. Do not approach suspected unexploded ordnance. In areas previously occupied by Russian forces, be aware of booby traps.
