In the evening of 10 March, an air-raid warning was announced in the city of Kyiv and a number of oblasts.

Details: At 18:39, a siren sounded in the capital, currently the central and northern oblasts and part of the east are "red".

As Ihnat clarified to Ukrainska Pravda, a takeoff of a Tu-22M3 strategic aircraft from the Shaykovka airfield in Russia was recorded.

This aircraft is the carrier of long-range Kh-22 air-based cruise missiles, against which Ukrainian air defence is powerless.

At 18:58, the all-clear was given. The Air Force spokesman explained on air that the plane had seemingly changed its course and the threat was over.
