Air raid alerts were issued in Kyiv and several other regions in the morning of October 17 due to a ballistic missile threat.

The Air Force warned of missile launches targeting Zaporizhzhia and Kryvyi Rih.

Prime Minister Serhii Koretskyi said that all three of the city's combined heat and power stations were attacked, as well as critical infrastructure in the Kyiv Oblast that provides power to Kyiv and central regions.

The attack followed warnings from Ukraine’s Air Force of ballistic missiles heading toward Zaporizhzhia, Kryvyi Rih, Kamianske and Dnipro, while Russian attack drones were also approaching Kyiv.
