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!

乌克兰基辅的空袭警报响起,警告有俄罗斯喷气式无人机正在接近,但幸运的是,在阿廖娜·博哈特连科分娩的最后阶段,附近没有发生爆炸。
“我竟然在空中警报期间生下了孩子!”这位32岁的母亲笑容满面地说道,她躺在医院的病床上,怀抱着刚出生几分钟的女儿。“这一切都不正常,但是……你总会慢慢习惯的。”
