> Ukraine will introduce two-tier air raid alerts as Russian drones and missiles hit Kyiv for a seventh consecutive day, President Volodymyr Zelensky said. Yellow alerts will signal incoming drones, while red alerts will cover missile threats and massive combined attacks. Sirens will use different signals and warnings will be more localized; public transport will be adjusted but not halted during yellow alerts.
