Last night, Russia attacked Ukraine with more than 120 explosive drones, nearly 20 missiles, and at least 12 aerial bombs, targeting Ukrainian energy infrastructure. Ukrainian air defenses neutralized most drones, but the missiles and bombs caused damaged and injured at least seven people.
Ukraine’s Air Force reported that Russian forces launched a combined attack with various types of missiles and drones overnight on 11 February 2025. The assault included “up to 19 cruise, ballistic, and guided air-launched missiles” targeting gas industry facilities in Poltava Oblast.
According to the Air Force, Russian forces also launched 124 Shahed-type one-way attack drones and other decoy aerial vehicles from multiple locations including Russia’s Millerovo, Oryol, Bryansk, Kursk, and Primorsko-Akhtarsk. Ukrainian air defenses reportedly shot down 57 attack drones across twelve oblasts, while 64 decoy drones disappeared from radars without causing damage.
The Air Forces data implies that at least three drones and all missiles might have reached their targets. The Air Force’s reports omit Russian bomb attacks, as the country’s air defenses rarely shoot down Russian aerial bombs.

Ukrainian Energy Minister Herman Halushchenko reported emergency power cuts were implemented across Ukraine due to attacks on the energy system. Power grid operator Ukrenergo later announced the restrictions were lifted but urged consumers to limit electricity usage between 15:00 and 21:00.

The blast wave also shattered windows and doors, damaged a playground, and affected a private house.
Sumy Oblast targeted
Russian forces conducted five attacks on border areas in Sumy Oblast, targeting Yunakivka, Khotyn, and Bilopillia communities with gliding aerial bombs and FPV drones, the regional authorities reported. Since the beginning of 2025, air defense units have destroyed 367 Russian drones in Sumy Oblast.
