Airports will open shortly. Feel free to get a 1-way ticket outta here.

On a serious note - No place was, is, or ever will be 100% “safe”. The sky could fall any time, anywhere, you know. Or someone could slip in the bathroom and be unable to build slides for the rest of your life.

We will all be safer if a new regime takes over!

Lol 😂

You're many times more likely to be injured in a road traffic accident than by a drone. The fact is that everyone here is still incredibly safe. We are very lucky to be able to say that.

Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for civilians in other countries where the air defence is not as robust.

The air defense here is only limited to X number of incoming strikes. Doesn’t match the safety of place where there are no missiles trying to strike.

The new war zone.
