Russian forces launched a massive overnight drone and
missile assault on Ukraine beginning at 8 p.m. on Oct. 11, using 118
Shahed-type attack UAVs, several decoy drones, and one Kh-31 guided
air-to-surface missile, Ukraine’s Air Force reported.
By 9 a.m. on Oct. 12, air defense units had shot down or
disabled 103 enemy Shahed drones and other unmanned decoy aircraft, the
military said. One missile and 15 drones struck 10 separate locations across
the country.
Donetsk Oblast Governor Vadym Filashkin said that Russian strikes targeted
energy infrastructure in the region, leaving Donetsk Oblast without
electricity.
Separately, the Russian military attacked the city of
Chuhuiv in Kharkiv Oblast using attack drones. One strike damaged an
educational facility and a residential building.
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.
