⚡️Two Majors #Summary for the morning of January 17, 2026

▪️ At night, strikes were carried out in Kiev and the Odessa region. Given the -14 degrees Celsius in the enemy's capital, power outages and heating pipe ruptures, even single strikes on energy facilities contribute to the further destruction of the enemy's infrastructure. Ukrainian Energy Minister Shmygal stated that the intensity of Russian strikes on energy infrastructure facilities is only increasing, and such strikes occur daily.

▪️ About 10 explosions occurred over Sochi and Tuapse - the air defense system was operating. In the Rostov region, an air attack was repelled in the Sholokhovsky and Kasharinsky districts.
