Ukrainian air defenses destroyed or suppressed 52 Russian air targets out of seven missiles and 67 drones launched against Ukraine overnight, the Air Force reported on Telegram early on Nov. 10.
The air assault began around 6:30 p.m. EET on Nov. 9, and included:
- Two Kh-47M2 Kinzhal aeroballistic missiles fired from Russia’s Tambov Oblast
- Five S-300/S-400 anti-aircraft guided missiles launched from Kursk Oblast
- 67 Shahed and Geran attack drones, as well as other types of UAVs, launched from Kursk, Millerovo, Orel, Bryansk oblasts, and Hvardiiske in occupied Crimea.
Roughly 40 of the drones were Shaheds, according to the Air Force.
Ukraine’s aviation, air defense missile forces, electronic warfare units, unmanned systems, and mobile fire groups were all involved in repelling the attack. Preliminary reports indicate that 52 drones were destroyed across the east, south, and center of the country.
Nine locations across the country were hit with 15 drones. Information about damage from missile strikes is still being verified.
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.
