Explosions shake Khmelnytskyi region in western Ukraine
Several explosions were heard in the Khmelnytskyi region in western Ukraine on Saturday evening, with no reports of injuries or material damage.
Ukrainian media reported the sounds of multiple explosions in the region, prompting a nationwide air raid alert across Ukraine.
Meanwhile, the 'Voyennoye Delo' Telegram channel previously reported the destruction of a Patriot missile battery in Kyiv, resulting in explosions that caused significant losses to the capital's air defenses.
Last night, Kyiv experienced a series of explosions, which local media later confirmed were part of intense attacks targeting 'Zhuliany' Airport.
The 'Russian Spring Correspondents' channel on Telegram said the airport was attacked by 'a massive swarm of combat drones.'
These developments follow recent remarks by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky regarding Russian military strikes on targets within Ukraine.

Maariv: Majority of Gaza envelope residents feel unsafe, plan to leave
Occupied Quds – SABA: A public opinion poll published on Sunday by the Israeli newspaper Maariv revealed that an overwhelming majority of residents in the settlements surrounding the Gaza Strip (the so-called 'Gaza Envelope') feel unsafe and have growing doubts about Israel's deterrence capabilities nearly two years into the ongoing war. 70% of respondents believe Israeli deterrence toward Gaza is either 'weak' or 'very weak.' 78% of residents say they feel no sense of security in the area due to ongoing hostilities and instability. 63% said that the return of Israeli captives held in Gaza is essential to restoring their sense of security. A staggering 93% believe that the current security policies are failing to eliminate the threats emanating from Gaza. 30.4% of residents are considering or planning to migrate from the area due to the deteriorating security situation. 77% of respondents said they do not trust the Israeli media, accusing it of downplaying threats and whitewashing the harsh reality. 76.8% expressed no trust in the Israeli government. 56% distrust Shin Bet (Shabak), the internal security agency. 45.5% said they have lost trust in the Israeli army. These findings come just days after the Israeli government announced it would allow Gaza Envelope residents to return to their towns for the first time since October 7, 2023, when Hamas-led attacks triggered the current phase of conflict.
