An airstrike warning notification appears on a cell phone in Kyiv City, Ukraine, Tuesday, May 14, 2022. This notification usually coincides with the sound of a siren which echoes in almost all corners of Kyiv city.
On Tuesday (14/6/2022) morning, the streets of Kyiv were wet from the rain and the air was piercing cold. At 9:25 a.m. local time, however, the sound of the drizzling rain was drowned out by blaring sirens that echoed throughout our fourth-floor apartment, not far from Independence Square.
The sound of the sirens was accompanied by a notification from the Kyiv Digital app that appeared on our mobile phones. It read in Cyrillic: “The Ukrainian government has issued an air raid warning. Seek shelter immediately.”
