Russia attacked Ukraine with Shahed drones and two types of missiles in an overnight attack, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported on Facebook on Nov. 21.
Air defense forces destroyed nine UAVs and an Iskander-K cruise missile.
The Russians attacked from the southeast (Primorsko-Akhtarsk - Russia) with ten Shahed attack UAVs, the Air Force said.
The Russian military also fired four S-300 anti-aircraft guided missiles in the Donetsk sector and one Iskander-K ground-launched cruise missile from the Dzhankoy area (Crimea).
The Central City Hospital in Selydove, Donetsk Oblast, the building of the Kotlyarevska mine, and other civilian infrastructure were destroyed and damaged, the General Staff reported.
Mykola Lukashuk, head of the Dnipropetrovsk Oblast Council, said that the Air Defense Forces had shot down a missile over the region.
"We have good news," he wrote.
“Last night, our servicemen from the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine shot down a missile that the enemy directed at the region. I am grateful to the defenders of the sky from Air Command East!”
Overnight, Russia attacked Ukraine once again. This time, the strikes threatened the northern, central, and western regions, as far as Volyn, Ternopil, and Chernivtsi oblasts.
Explosions were heard during the Russian attack in Volyn, Rivne, and Khmelnytskyi oblasts, as Ukrainian air defense was operating.
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.
