Overnight Assault by Russia: 2 Missiles and 172 Drones Cause Harm at 13 Ukrainian Locations
In a significant escalation of tensions, Ukraine has been hit by a series of missile strikes and UAV attacks on the evening of September 16, 2025. The attacks, launched from various locations in Russia, including Rostov and Kursk oblasts, targeted 13 locations across the country's north, south, and east.
According to reports, Russian forces have deployed Iskander-M/KN-23 ballistic missiles, S-300 surface-to-air missiles, and 172 loitering munitions, including Shahed, Gerbera, and other types. More than 100 of these UAVs were Shahed attack drones, launched from Russian cities such as Kursk, Bryansk, Oryol, Millerovo, and Primorsko-Akhtarsk, as well as from Cape Chauda in occupied Crimea.
Ukraine's air defense units have been active in defending against these attacks. As of 09:30, they had successfully shot down or jammed 136 enemy UAVs. The repelling of the air raid was a joint effort involving aircraft, anti-aircraft missile units, electronic warfare assets, unmanned systems units, and mobile fire groups from Ukraine's defense forces.
Despite these intense attacks, no specific information is available about Russian UAV attacks involving neighboring countries on the evening of September 16, 2025. However, recent incidents have involved significant drone and missile strikes within Ukraine itself, such as the large-scale attack on September 6-7, 2025.
It is important to note that the Hungarian Prime Minister's statement about Russian drones entering Poland is not directly related to the current report about Ukraine's defense against Russian attacks. Similarly, there is no new information about online shopping tools, wellness guides, sponsored content, or investment advice in this report.
As the situation continues to evolve, Ukraine's resilience and determination in the face of these attacks serve as a testament to their commitment to maintaining their sovereignty and territorial integrity. The international community is urged to continue supporting Ukraine in its efforts to defend against these aggressive actions.
