The air raid alert in Kyiv, Ukraine was live, warning of approaching Russian jet-propelled drones, but fortunately there were no explosions nearby during the final phase of Alyona Bohatyrenko's labour.

"I gave birth during an air alert!" beamed the 32-year-old, as she lay in her hospital bed cradling her baby daughter minutes after she was born. "None of this is normal, but ... you get used to it somehow."

Thank you for your report!
