Symbols Appear On Ukrainian Buildings, Targeted Russian Attack Feared

Russia-Ukraine war: A warning has been issued by the City of Kyiv on its official page. The authorities have asked people to "cover the symbols".
The authorities in Ukraine are warning people to check for symbols on buildings, which could make them targets of the Russians. As the war intensifies, these symbols have been spotted on the rooftops of high rises and gas pipes in some cities.
Some of these symbols include a bright red X (X-marks-the-spot type) and arrows. Ukrainian authorities claim this is the work of "suspicious characters", who are leaving clues for Russians, presumably for an airstrike. Some reports claim that reflective tags have also been found all around Kyiv.
The city of Kyiv, in a Facebook post last week, appealed to the people with access to roof to "urgently check" for such symbols.
"City authorities are appealing to residents of multi-storey buildings that have access to the roof, asking to urgently check the roofs for the availability of tags. In case any marks are detected - please put them to sleep with the ground or something to cover," it said in the post.
