  "account": "Ukraine is set to launch a government mobile application designed to track real-time air threats, according to Prime Minister Serhii Koretskyi's announcement on September 3. The new standalone app, built upon the existing Diia platform, will provide live updates on various air raid notifications, drone flights, and incoming missile trajectories. Koretskyi stressed the app's mission to serve as an official, centralized source of information, ensuring citizens receive threat data directly from the government. He further clarified that the system represents a significant technical enhancement, going beyond mere updates, and acts as an authoritative counter to conflicting or unverified security reports. While Koretskyi did not disclose a specific launch date or technical specifics of the application, the move is part of a broader shift in the government's approach to air threat alerts. The new two-tier warning system will issue a yellow alert for drone attacks and escalate to a red alert in response to missile threats, ballistic weapons, or large-scale strikes. Officials explained that this policy change is a response to evolving Russian tactics, particularly the use of long-range drones for prolonged, continuous attacks. These sustained operations often lead to city-wide paralysis, causing public transit halts, business closures, and disruptions to routine city services.",
