On the night of Thursday, December 11, Russian troops launched a new strike against Ukraine, this time attacking the city of Kremenchug in the Poltava region with ballistic missiles. This attack occurred after Ukrainian military forces warned at 01:27 about a possible threat of the enemy using ballistic weapons.
As a result, an air alarm was declared in Kyiv and several other regions. The military urged the residents of Kremenchug to urgently seek shelter, emphasizing the high risk of strikes. In particular, there were calls such as: "Rapid movement in Poltava region in the southwest direction. Kremenchug to shelter!"
Escalation of the Conflict
This attack is part of a new tactic developed by the Russian military, changing approaches to striking Ukraine's critical infrastructure. In particular, according to a military expert, such strategic destruction may aim to reduce Ukraine's ability to quickly move military resources.
The change in tactics, which includes strikes on railway stations, indicates an increase in the escalation of the conflict. Experts believe that the Russian army aims to achieve maximum destructive results, posing a threat to civilians and infrastructure.
Calls for Safety
Such events highlight the need to adhere to safety rules in the context of armed conflict. Government authorities urge the population to be vigilant to alarm signals and always have the option to seek shelter in case of threat.
At present, the situation remains under the control of the Ukrainian armed forces, and local authorities continue to provide information about possible threats. Residents of Kremenchug and other cities must follow the guidance of the military and local authorities.
