Russian forces attacked Ukraine overnight into Nov. 14 with 96 strike drones of the Shahed type, 61 of them jet-powered, as well as Gerbera drones and Parodiya decoys, according to Ukraine's Air Force.
The attack was repelled by aviation, anti-aircraft missile troops, electronic warfare units, unmanned systems units, and mobile fire groups of Ukraine's Defense Forces.
According to preliminary data, as of 7:30 a.m. air defenses had shot down or suppressed 81 Russian Shahed-type drones (52 of them jet-powered), Gerberas, and drones of other types.
Several strike drones were still in the air, and combat work was continuing.
The Air Force recorded drone hits at eight locations and debris falling at two.
On Nov. 13, Ukraine's Energy Ministry reported that over the past day the Russians had continued attacking Ukraine's energy infrastructure. Some customers lost power in the Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhya, Zhytomyr, Kyiv, Mykolaiv, Odesa, Rivne, Sumy, Kharkiv, Khmelnytskyi, and Chernihiv oblasts as a result of the strikes.
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.
