Russian forces launched Kh-59/69 cruise missiles, 163 Shahed, jet-powered Shahed, Gerbera, and Banderol/Dan-T UAVs, along with Parodiya decoy drones, against Ukraine overnight on November 11, the Air Force reported.
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.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
