Russian forces attacked civilian infrastructure in the city of Konotop in Sumy Oblast, Mayor Artem Semenikhin said on June 11.
At 7:45 a.m., Semenikhin said the strike had damaged the gas supply network, with emergency gas crews working at the scene. A 42-year-old woman sustained a shrapnel wound to her leg and is receiving outpatient treatment.
At 8:18 a.m., Semenikhin said that Russian strikes had left Konotop without electricity and water supply. Water is being distributed according to a schedule, and residents were urged to stock up on supplies, the mayor said.
Overnight into June 11, Russian forces launched a combined aerial assault on Ukraine using missiles, guided aerial bombs and attack drones. According to Ukrainian authorities, Russia deployed:
two Iskander-M ballistic missiles, none of which were intercepted;
221 drones, including Shahed attack drones (among them jet-powered variants), Gerbera and Italmas drones, as well as Parodiya decoy drones, of which 195 were shot down.
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.
