An air alert has been declared in Kharkiv, Poltava and Sumy

This is reported by TASS with reference to the Ukrainian media and data from representatives of local authorities.

Earlier, on October 13, it became known about an air alert in the vicinity of Kyiv.

The deputy head of the office of the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky, Kyrylo Tymoshenko, announced attacks on critical infrastructure in the Kyiv region. Residents are told to stay in shelters. According to Tymoshenko, the strikes are carried out by kamikaze drones.

An air alert on the territory of Ukraine is announced daily from October 10. Rocket strikes have already damaged power supply and communications facilities. During the strikes, up to a third of the country's energy facilities were damaged. In Lvov and a number of other cities, the strikes led to power outages.

At the same time, strikes are being made on Russian cities. So, in Belgorod, rocket fragments partially destroyed a residential high-rise building.

Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin accused Kiev of a terrorist attack on the Crimean bridge and promised a "tough" response. As a result of an explosion on the bridge of a truck, seven fuel tanks of the railway train ignited, and two automobile spans of the bridge collapsed. The Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation believes that the emergency on the bridge was the result of a terrorist attack committed at the suggestion of the special services of Ukraine.
