A sharp deterioration in air quality was recorded in Kyiv after a massive enemy air attack, in connection with which the Ministry of Environmental Protection and Natural Resources advises citizens to limit their time outdoors and monitor their water balance.
The press service of the Ministry of Environmental Protection has said this in a statement, the Ukrainian News agency reports.
"The level of atmospheric air pollution in Kyiv is high. The radiation background in the city remains normal. This is evidenced by data from city air quality monitoring stations," the Ministry of Environmental Protection said.
The reason for the deterioration in air quality is fires caused by massive russian shelling on the night of July 4.
The Ministry of Environmental Protection called on citizens to stabilize the situation:
- not to be outdoors;
- not to ventilate the premises;
- maintain water balance;
- if there is an air purifier, turn it on to maximum.
People with respiratory and cardiovascular diseases should pay special attention to these tips.
As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, on the night of Friday, July 4, Kyiv was subjected to a powerful combined attack by russia.
The occupiers first struck the capital with a large number of kamikaze drones, and at about 2 a.m. they launched several ballistic missiles.
As a result of the shelling, fires broke out, more than 20 people were injured.
Due to the russian shelling, the railway infrastructure in Kyiv was damaged, and trains heading west are traveling along a diverted route.
Traffic was also partially closed on several streets in the Solomianskyi and Sviatoshynskyi Districts of Kyiv.
