Russian forces launch 160+ drones and missiles in overnight attack against Ukraine

Airstrikes made impact at 17 locations with debris from shot-down targets falling in seven locations.

As of 08:00 a.m. local time, Ukrainian air defenses shot down or neutralized 14 Banderol/Dan-T quasi-cruise missiles and 130 enemy UAVs – 72 of which were jet-powered.

The Air Force warned that the Russian attack was still underway, with multiple Russian drones still in Ukrainian airspace.

The overnight Russian barrage struck Kharkiv and Kryvyi Rih, alongside Zaporizhzhya and Rivne oblasts.

Russia launched a large-scale overnight attack on Ukraine’s energy grid on November 10.

“The city has partially lost power,” said Oleksandr Vilkul, head of the Kryvyi Rih Defense Council, describing the aftermath of the strikes. “Sewage and water systems are running on backup generators. The heating situation will be more difficult. The attack damaged apartment buildings, schools, and kindergartens.”

The attack also sparked a 900-square-meter fire in Kharkiv’s Saltivskyi district, damaging multiple apartment buildings and vehicles.
