'This will no longer save you': rescuers warn about a deadly mistake during alarms.

In recent years, the fashionable rule of 'two walls' has become less effective under modern threats, as new types of weapons have changed the situation. Specialists from the State Emergency Service warn that ordinary living rooms or corridors cannot guarantee absolute safety during an alarm.Previously, the 'two walls' rule recommended sheltering behind two solid walls away from windows and external walls for greater safety in the event of artillery or air strikes. However, this tactic does not provide the necessary level of protection against modern threats, as experts explain.

'People still think that hiding and waiting at home is the best solution. However, the enemy is not only increasing the number of strike drones but also enhancing their combat power,' explained the representative of the SES of Kyiv, Pavlo Petrov.

Current threats and expert recommendations

Modern missiles and aerial bombs can accurately hit their target, completely destroying buildings. Cluster munitions also pose a serious threat as they fall over a wide area, creating risks for those behind several walls. The level of safety depends on the construction of the house, with monolithic structures being the most resilient.

'The two walls rule can only protect against small fragments or glass, but the situation in the Solomyanka district of Kyiv once again confirms that this tactic is completely ineffective. Indeed, direct hits completely destroy entire entrances,' emphasized press officer of the SES of Ukraine, Oleksandr Khorunzhyi.

Advice during alarms

Experts recommend seeking refuge in specially equipped shelters or underground structures during alarms. Residents of the suburbs are advised to avoid parks and forests during alarms and to have necessary documents and items for evacuation with them.It is also emphasized that it is important to have a 'go bag' with necessary items in case of danger, as well as to seek shelter in safe places to ensure safety during air attacks.The 'two walls' rule has become less effective in the face of modern threats, and experts advise seeking safety in specially equipped shelters during alarms. The structure of the building where a person is located plays a key role in the level of protection, so it is important to follow experts' recommendations to ensure safety.
