Russia’s mass missile & drone attack on April 11

Russia launched a barrage of Kh-95MS cruise missiles and Kinzhal hypersonic missiles from MiG-31K aircraft, and guided aviation missiles from Su-34s at Ukraine early on April 11.

Poland scrambled aircraft as Russia struck Ukraine.

At least 10 strikes targeted Kharkiv and its surrounding areas, leading to new power outages in the city.

Lviv Oblast, particularly the city of Stryi, also faced heavy combined attacks.

Explosions were heard in Zaporizhzhya, while critical infrastructure was targeted in Kyiv Oblast, resulting in a fire, local authorities reported.

The energy systems of four regions — Kyiv, Lviv, Zaporizhzhya, and Kharkiv — came under attack, with two DTEK thermal power plants suffering serious damage, Energy Minister Herman Halushchenko said.

Ukrainian air defense forces shot down 37 out of 40 Shahed kamikaze drones during the night and morning of April 11, the General Staff said.

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.
