Ukraine Hits Back as Russia Targets Civilians | Little Rock News

Author: The Daily News Now! September 17, 2026 Duration: 1:47

A Russian drone strike killed five and wounded seven in a Ukrainian passenger bus near Nikopol, sparking outrage from President Zelenskyy, who condemned it as an unprovoked atrocity. Ukraine’s Foreign Minister revealed over 500 trains have been destroyed since the war began — a deliberate assault on civilian infrastructure vital for evacuations and the economy. Zelenskyy signaled openness to an energy truce only if Russia halts attacks on power systems. Elsewhere, a Russian warship captain earned a medal for firing flares at a Danish helicopter — Russia claims it was to deter provocation — while a top Russian general was confirmed dead in Donetsk by Ukrainian forces. Kyiv and other regions endured fresh strikes, including injuries in Sumy and a death in Odesa. Russia claimed to shoot down 71 Ukrainian drones overnight, while its own Belgorod region suffered casualties from Ukrainian strikes.
