Kiev city administration cannot yet accurately explain cause of bright flash in sky in Kiev last night

The Kiev City Military Administration (KCMA) explained yesterday’s report about the probable fall of an American satellite by seeking to calm residents and guests of the capital agitated by a bright glow of incomprehensible origin.
“A very bright glow from the fall of an unknown object caused excitement and anxiety among Kiev residents. To reassure residents and guests of the capital, the Kiev city military administration released information about the probable fall of an American satellite and marked “preliminary information,” said in a statement by KGVA chief Sergei Popko in a telegram channel on Thursday.
Around 22:00 hours on April 19, an unknown air object was recorded falling in the sky within Kiev. “After checking and clarification, the information about the probable use of enemy aircraft or air strike with missile weapons was not confirmed,” the report said.
However, as noted, “at the time there was no data or warnings of a possible re-entry of a significant-sized space body into the Earth’s atmosphere from any global aerospace agency or astronomical observatory. However, there was a warning from NASA about their space satellite falling to Earth. Now, after an official statement from NASA, we can give clarified information – it was not their satellite.”
“What exactly it was – it is up to specialists to find out. But the most important thing is the safety of Kiev and the calmness of the people of Kiev. It was not a rocket attack, our air defense did not use available weapons,” Popko concluded.

Peak floods in Kiev expected in 5 days

The peak of the spring floods in the capital is expected by the end of April, tentatively – on April 22, the press service of the Kiev state city administration said.
“According to the Ukrhydrometeocenter, the peak of the spring floods in Kiev is tentatively expected on April 22,” said in a message in the Telegram channel on Monday.
It is noted that in the capital there is waterlogging of the territories of the island of Muromets Park, Gidropark, Trukhanov Island, Galerny Bay, Korchevatoe, private areas in the area of Osokorki.
The water level in 2023 is 0,5-1 m higher than last year.
The main reason for the floods is the spring flooding and regular precipitation in recent times, which led to an increase in water in the rivers.
“In addition, the level of the Dnieper in Kiev has always been regulated by the cascade of Dnieper hydropower plants. Unfortunately, to date, Kakhovskaya HPP does not work in full technological mode, so the other dams are trying to adjust this situation,” – noted in the message.
According to Ukrhydrometocenter, as of 12:00 on Monday, the water level in the Dnieper is 9,359 cm (the critical level – 9,415 cm) according to the Baltic system of heights.
“There is still 50-60 cm to the critical water level. We understand that the water can reach this level, so we conduct additional training of civil protection forces, rescuers and all services that may be involved in providing assistance to residents,” notes Roman Tkachuk, director of the Department of Municipal Safety of the Kyiv City State Administration.
Cases where the consequences of flooding caused damage to property or other damage to businesses will be considered in the work of the district commissions of technogenic and environmental safety and emergencies.
