Air raid sirens rang out in Ukraine's capital Kiev following the announcement of Russian military operation in eastern part of the country.
Russian President Vladimir Putin gave a state address saying the action comes in response to threats coming from Ukraine.
Just after 7am local time in Kiev the siren was heard playing out across the morning traffic.

@BusterPlanet from how i see it theres alot of religous perspective of it but i dont really think thats the case i think its just a war between arab tribes that had involves both sides doing such hideous,terrific killings. Because somebody wants a land or a place like that. As a muslim i agree we do have such extremist thoughts but that doesnt represent most of us. From my perspective the Zionist jews also have done horribles things. And the The Al-Aqsa mosque being the center of it, from what i do know now Al-Aqsa mosque or the entire place itself is a multi-prayers area. Including other religion. Theres is a story recorded in history, back when Islam first started the Madinah was once a place where Jews stayed, the Jews welcome Prophet Rasullah(PBUH) to preach in the Madinah with welcome, when the ppl of Madinah elected the Prophet to be the leader, the Prophet himself did many policy regarding the Jews like Always giving privacies,respect,honor,voices to them and also enforce rules to keep order between ppl inside madinah. I do believe 1 day we would united and bring peace. Thank You if you read this (-~-)

@BusterPlanet Israel doesn't just exist there. It's on stolen land and continues to steal land through settlements. It has a blockade on the Palestinians and treat them like second class citizens. Don't act like a victim. Your Iron Dome, paid for by the US tax payers, keeps y'all safe while the same can't be said for the Palestinians.

This happens every single day in Ukraine and the siren also occasionally does the “click, click, click, click. warning air raid siren stay in shelter until it’s over” they didn’t show this but it becomes more terrifying when it comes. Idk why.
I just hope and pray this doesn’t turn into WW3😭
