46 Russian drones destroyed, 60 UAVs lost during night attack on Ukraine
Ukrainian air defenses shot down 46 of the 110 drones launched by Russia over Ukraine, the Air Force of the Ukrainian Armed Forces reported on Telegram on Nov. 12.
During the night, Russian forces launched multiple attacks across Ukraine, including:
- A S-300 anti-aircraft missile strike on Kharkiv from Russia’s Belgorod Oblast
- Two Kh-59/69 guided air missiles fired at Chernihiv from Russia’s Kursk Oblast
- Guided aerial bomb strikes on the Sumy and Kharkiv oblasts
- A total of 110 attack UAVs, including Shahed drones, launched from Russia’s Kursk, Primorsko-Akhtarsk, and Bryansk oblasts
Ukrainian air defenses, including anti-aircraft missile troops, aviation, electronic warfare units, and mobile fire groups, repelled the attacks.
Air defense systems (PPO) operated in Kyiv, Zhytomyr, Poltava, Sumy, Kharkiv, Cherkasy, Zaporizhzhya, Chernihiv, Dnipropetrovsk, and Mykolaiv oblasts. The Air Force reported that 60 drones were shot down across various oblasts of Ukraine, while two UAVs left Ukrainian airspace toward Belarus.
An air alert was declared in Kyiv and several other oblasts on the evening of November 11 and the night of November 12, as Ukrainian forces responded to the UAV threat. Russia also struck Zaporizhzhya with anti-aircraft missiles.
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.
