(Reuters) - Russia will run a nationwide test of its emergency public warning systems on Wednesday, letting sirens wail and interrupting television and radio broadcasts in a twice-yearly initiative amid the war in Ukraine.
At around 10.30 a.m. in most of Russia's 11 time zones, sirens will sound for a minute, with loudspeakers broadcasting an "Attention everyone!" call, the emergency ministry said on the Telegram messaging app.
