Putin's missile response to US' new bill targeting Russian oil buyers? Kyiv set on fire at midnight

Russia launched a major missile and drone attack on Kyiv overnight on 16–17 September 2026, with over 10 blasts rocking the capital as ballistic missiles struck residential and education facilities, injuring at least 12 people. The strike came as the U.S. House passed the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act, targeting Moscow's energy revenues and buyers with up to 100% tariffs. Sent to President Trump for signature, the bill marks fresh U.S. pressure on Putin's war machine. Is this escalation a warning—or the start of a deeper confrontation?
