I wish this was available to gift to you from my allowance as a subscriber and it isn’t. It is the sound of war as people in Ukraine experience it including those who get hit by drones. If you know anybody a subscriber, I hope you can listen to it on their phone. It is truly harrowing.

If you can open this I urge listening and reading this powerful Special Report about drones - experience yourself what Ukraine hears as they experience drones targetting them for a hit. Meet two soldiers who survived drones hitting them. apple.news/AO1kCLtefT92...
