17.11.2024The Day Two Hundred Missiles Met the Sky
Russia launched its largest combined missile-drone attack since August, with 120 missiles and 90 drones targeting Ukraine's energy infrastructure. The assault began at dawn with Tu-95 strategic bombers, followed by Kalibr cruise missiles from the sea. Ukrainian air defense intercepted 144 targets, including 102 missiles and 42 drones.

The attack marked a significant escalation from previous days' drone-focused strategy. Ukrainian F-16s reportedly engaged in combat for the first time, downing approximately 10 targets. Emergency power outages were implemented across the country, marking a return to scheduled blackouts reminiscent of previous winter campaigns.

By evening, media attention shifted to reports of Biden authorizing ATACMS use against Russian territory, while a Russian strike on a residential building in Sumy killed eight people, including children. Ground forces reported 134 engagements along the front, maintaining similar intensity to previous days.
