 Ukrainian authorities prepare evacuation of people in case of major attack on Kursan Oblast. Oleksandr Prokudin, head of Kursan Oblast military administration, has said that the authorities have been preparing to evacuate the population from the Oblast in case of a massive Russian attack. We have recently noticed that the enemy has ramped up Kursan Oblast bombardments as well as the entire Ukraine. I cannot let the people of Kursan suffer. Therefore, I requested that the evacuation routes for civilians in case of a major attack on the Oblast be worked out in advance," he added. He explained that the authorities should immediately evacuate people from the danger zone in case of a massive attack on Kursan Oblast. For this purpose, safe routes for transport, places of temporary residence with medicines and food have been determined and lists of people with limited mobility and large families have been compiled. All civilians have recently been banned from using any watercraft in Kursan Oblast. Ships and other watercraft have been banned from entering and staying on water facilities in Kursan Oblast. The decision was taken to ensure the safety of the shipping industry and citizens as well as to minimise the risks of sabotage and terrorist threats in Ukraine's inland waters. The ban applies to all types of watercraft, including sports vessels, shipping boats, recreational boats, etc. The exceptions are vessels of the Ukrainian Defence Forces and specialists engaged in the protection of aquatic bio-resources, Kursan Oblast military administration added.
