Air defense intercepts 29 of 66 drones as Russians hit Ukraine with missiles
Russian forces have once again attacked Ukraine with ballistic missiles, guided airstrikes, and drones, and Ukrainian air defenses shot down 29 of 66 drones as of 11 a.m. on Oct. 11, according to the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
Russian forces attacked Ukraine overnight with an Iskander-M ballistic missile, an Kh-31P guided missile, and 66 attack drones, according to the military. Ukrainian air defenses shot down 29 drones across Kyiv, Cherkasy, Vinnytsia, Sumy, Poltava, Dnipropetrovsk, Kharkiv, Chernihiv, and Zhytomyr oblasts, while 31 drones were lost in various areas, likely due to electronic warfare countermeasures. Two drones returned to Russia, and four drones remain airborne as combat operations continue, the Air Force reported.
Air alerts were issued in many oblasts, including Kyiv, where air defenses intercepted all drones that posed a threat to the capital.
In Odesa Oblast, Russian forces launched a ballistic missile strike, resulting in four deaths, including a 16-year-old girl, local authorities reported.
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.
