Industrial facility in Poltava Oblast ablaze after Russian strike
An overnight Russian drone attack ignited a fire at an industrial facility in Ukraine’s central Poltava Oblast, Regional Governor Volodymyr Kohut reported on Telegram on Sep. 17.
Emergency crews have since extinguished the fire.
No casualties were reported.
The attack is the latest in a wave of overnight strikes targeting Ukrainian infrastructure.
Earlier that morning, the national rail operator Ukrzaliznytsia reported that Russia’s overnight combined drone and missile attack was focused on Ukraine’s critical railway infrastructure, causing delays across the country and prompting the deployment of reserve locomotives.
As of 7 a.m. EET, at least 45 trains were delayed in the Odessa and Dnipro directions.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
