In the night of November 11, 2026, the Russian military launched a massive strike on Ukraine's critical infrastructure facilities. According to Prime Minister Denys Koretsky, as cited by RBC-Ukraine, six major electrical substations in Vinnytsia, Kirovohrad, Zhytomyr, and Cherkasy regions came under fire. The attack affected not only the energy sector, but also railway infrastructure and civilian objects in a number of the country's regions.

Strikes on the Energy System

As Koretsky reported, power transmission lines of various voltage classes were damaged in the Kirovohrad and Rivne regions. In Kryvyi Rih, according to him, heat supply to residential buildings experienced issues due to a strike on a heat-supply enterprise. The Prime Minister emphasized that power engineers and heating specialists are doing everything possible to restore heat supply in the city as soon as possible.

Railways and Civilian Infrastructure

In addition to energy facilities, according to the Prime Minister, Russian forces launched strikes on the railway in Dnipropetrovsk and Zhytomyr regions. In the Kherson region, a school building was damaged as a result of an aerial bomb dropping, and five apartment buildings were damaged in Kharkiv. Thus, the geography of the attack's consequences spans several regions at once.

Casualties and Medical Assistance

As of the morning of November 11, according to Koretsky, at least 14 casualties are known to be receiving necessary medical assistance. Official data on fatalities is not provided in the supplied materials, so the exact number of victims at the time of publication remains to be clarified.

Scale of the Attack According to Air Defense Data

According to previously published information, on the night of November 11, Russia used 163 drones and one Kh-59/69 guided missile. The Ukrainian air defense system, according to available data, destroyed or suppressed 144 targets, with hits recorded at 17 locations. These figures allow for assessing the overall scale of the nighttime attack and the proportion of intercepted strike means.

Context: Previous Strikes on Kryvyi Rih

It is worth noting that already on the evening of November 10, Russia carried out a massive drone attack on Kryvyi Rih, targeting critical infrastructure facilities. The nighttime strikes on the energy and heat supply sectors in the night of November 11 continue the line of similar attacks on the city's industrial and municipal facilities.
