What each source reports. "Source tone" reflects the language used by the outlet — it is not an independent verification.
The first device was installed in one of the shelters in the Darnytskyi district.
The system has four options for opening the door to the shelter: automatic when an air-raid warning is issued in the city; remote, through communication with a dispatcher; with the help of a special magnetic key; through a pin code generated in the Kyiv's Shelters chatbot.
All four options work independently of each other and provide unhindered access under any conditions.
If the light goes off, the system will switch to its own backup power battery.
After the launch of the first system, it is planned to equip other shelters in the city with such devices.
Destruction and fire occurred on the 16th, 17th, and 18th floors of a 24-story building due to falling debris.
About 40 cars parked in the car park were damaged.
