Ukraine reports zero intercepts during Russian missile strike, raising questions about the effectiveness of its air defense systems—were they merely symbolic, or is there a deeper issue with operation

Russian forces launched continuous heavy strikes on Kyiv through the night, with Ukrainian air defenses registering zero interceptions

According to Russian media reports, Russian armed forces conducted a large-scale attack on Kyiv early on September 17. Relevant footage was shared by the local Telegram channel "Kyiv.Info."

The channel stated: "Missiles came one after another toward Kyiv... targets were hit."

The Telegram channel "Operation Z: Military Correspondent of Russia's Spring" provided further details on the strike targets. According to reports, drone wreckage fell near warehouse areas and gas stations.
