During the night (May 17, 2026), a wave of extensive attacks was reported at several locations across Ukraine. According to the pro-Russian Telegram channel Украина.ру, loud explosions were heard in Kyiv, Kharkiv, Dnipropetrovsk, and Kryvyi Rih. The channel, which is identified with positions supporting the Kremlin, reported hits on various targets and fires that broke out as a result.
At the same time, the channel Политика Страны, which presents a critical position toward both sides, reported that a gas station in Zaporizhzhia was hit as a result of the attacks, and one woman was wounded. Concurrently, the Telegram channel Два майора, which is identified with the Russian side of the war, confirmed that the attacks led to severe damage to the electricity infrastructure in the Zaporizhzhia region, noting that work is underway to repair the power grids and that critical facilities have been switched to operate on generators.
On the Russian side, unusual reports were recorded on the BASQA NEWS channel regarding a series of explosions heard in the Zelenograd area in the Moscow region. As of this time, no official details have been provided by the Russian authorities regarding the nature of the explosions in this area.
The reports reflect the growing security tension, as both sides report damage to strategic infrastructure. While Украина.ру emphasizes the success of the Russian strikes, Ukrainian sources and general information sources focus on the civilian and infrastructural damage caused to the attacked cities.
