Siren

Around 5:00 pm today, there was a siren near E. Lerclerc. Do you have any idea why? I hope it’s not anything related to the Russia-Ukraine war.

No, it isn't war related (at least not Russia-Ukraine war).

It is to commemorate the lives lost during the Warsaw Uprising, which started at 5pm on 1 August 1944 (the time aslo known as "Godzina W")

And, as everyone should know, this was ‘alarm cancelled’ signal.

Yes, exactly. Real alarm is modulated and at the same time media (TV and radio) would broadcast what's the danger and what we should do. Everyone who complains that we shouldn't use sirens for celebrations is just uneducated on the matter.
