Ukraine creates new siren system to distinguish missile and drone attacks

SIC Notícias2 September 2026 at 23:12

Ukraine will implement a new siren system that will allow distinguishing drone attacks from Russian missile attacks through different sound signals. The announcement was made by President Volodymyr Zelensky, who revealed this change in the country's air alert system.

The main objective of this measure is to provide the civilian population and businesses with a more predictable response to threats. With differentiated sound signals, citizens will be able to know more quickly what type of attack is underway and how they should react.

The decision comes in a context of intensification of Russian bombings against Ukrainian territory, which have been increasing significantly in recent months. This new system aims to improve the efficiency of the population's response during attacks.
