The Poltavska region of Ukraine has been under relentless attack, with Russian forces employing drones and missiles to target key areas. The recent drone assault on July 27 resulted in damage to homes in the Kremenchuk and Poltava regions. Air defenses have been actively engaged to minimize harm, yet the threat persists. In other developments, debris from an attack caused a fire in Kremenchuk, further complicating the region's crisis. These continued aggressions have heightened tensions and emphasized the need for robust defensive measures. The Security Service of Ukraine has been working tirelessly, managing not only physical threats but also detaining Russian agents responsible for orchestrating potential attacks.

What measures are being taken to enhance Poltava's defense against drone attacks?

Poltava has initiated several measures to bolster its defense against drone attacks.
