Residents were told to “Stay in shelters, warn your relatives!” and Andriy Yermak, head of the Ukrainian presidential staff, warned, “Don’t ignore the alarm.”

Reports from Romanian news site Stiri.md said that local residents had heard two “explosions” in the area.
Political officials have condemned Moscow’s invasion of Moldova’s airspace, with Ștefan Gligor claiming it was a Russian missile.
Gligor said it was a “violation of the airspace of the Republic of Moldova by the Russian Federation.”
He has called for an investigation to prevent “panic” amongst locals.
Nataliya Gumenyuk, the spokeswoman for Ukraine’s Southern Defence Forces, warned that a “massive” Russian attack will be coming.
She told Ukraine’s Channel 24 that Moscow intends them to sow “terror” adding, “We understand that a massive attack is being prepared and is possible any day,” Gumenyuk said over the weekend.
“Remember that neither day nor night matters to the enemy. Their task is terror.”
Gumenyuk said, “For almost two weeks, the enemy has not launched massive missile strikes.
“However, this pause may end at any time.”
