Russian forces struck local infrastructure in the central Ukrainian city of Kropyvnytskyi, Kirovohrad Oblast, overnight on September 17, regional governor Andriy Raykovych reported.
More than a dozen explosions shook the city between 5:55 a.m. and 6:18 a.m. local time.
A yellow-level air raid alert was issued in the city at 3:56 a.m.
The Ukrainian Air Force warned of drones approaching Znam'yanka from the north at 5:20 a.m. Shortly after, reports emerged of jet-powered drones flying toward Novomyrhorod from the south.
Russia launched a massive missile and drone attack on Kyiv overnight into September 17, with waves of jet-powered drones continuing to strike the capital into the morning. The overnight barrage damaged buildings, offices, and warehouses across the Solomianskyi, Sviatoshynskyi, and Dniprovskyi districts, injuring at least 18 people.
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.
