Russian attacks killed nine people and injured 39 within 24 hours, according to Ukrainian authorities. They also say energy infrastructure in the Kharkiv and Kyiv regions was hit, while Ukraine says it intercepted a large proportion of the drones.
The Ukrainian air force reported that Russia deployed one Iskander-M missile and 162 long-range drones during the night of 9–10 November. According to the same source, 135 drones were intercepted, including 70 jet-powered craft. The figures come from Ukrainian authorities and could not be fully independently verified.
The attacks hit several areas. In the Kharkiv region, eight people, including children, were injured and electricity networks were attacked. In the Kyiv region, one person was killed and nine injured, according to local authorities, and energy infrastructure was damaged.
Casualties or damage were also reported in Donetsk, Kherson, Odesa, Sumy, Mykolaiv, Kirovohrad, Poltava and Zaporizhzhia. In Mykolaiv, more than 60,000 customers were reportedly temporarily left without power. The reports come from regional governors and Ukrainian state services.
The attack took place as talks on a possible end to the war continued. This does not mean the negotiations have broken down or that a new military phase has been established; it does show that diplomatic contacts and military attacks are continuing at the same time.
Russia has not independently confirmed the specific Ukrainian casualty figures or the attribution of all the damage. For readers in the Netherlands, the possible impact on energy supplies and European security is particularly relevant. Ukraine remains dependent on air defence and foreign support to protect infrastructure from air attacks.
