The entire Ukrainian airspace has been placed under threat following the unexpected takeoff of the strategic MiG-31K aircraft armed with 'Kinzhal' missiles. Official sources have issued alerts about heightened air raid signals across the country, especially in the capital, Kyiv, where explosions were heard. According to the Ukrainian Air Forces, the situation raises serious concerns due to the potential use of ballistic or cruise missiles capable of striking strategic targets. Just minutes after the MiG-31K took off, Kyiv experienced a series of explosions, confirming the real danger to civilians and critical infrastructure. Authorities emphasize that these measures are part of the escalating conflict, and combined efforts of defense and intelligence agencies are crucial to preventing a possible catastrophe.
