Story summary
On September 17, Russian forces continued attacking Ukrainian cities, including a strike on an industrial park near Korosten, west of Kyiv, which killed one person. This marks a shift in Russian tactics as attacks are now happening during daylight hours rather than exclusively at night. In Kyiv, air alerts were issued throughout the day, and a non-residential building was struck, injuring one person according to Mayor Vitali Klitschko. Additionally, Zaporizhzhia experienced an attack on a market that caused significant damage but no reported casualties. A separate incident in Dnipro led to two injuries from a fire ignited by Russian forces. Meanwhile, in Moscow, 29 Ukrainian drones were reportedly intercepted and destroyed according to Mayor Sergei Sobyanin's statements.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
