Ukraine shoots down only half of Russian drones as Moscow terror attack targets power facilities in three regions

Russia targets energy infrastructure in three oblasts

Russian forces attacked energy infrastructure in Odesa, Donetsk, and Kharkiv oblasts overnight, Ukraine’s Ministry of Energy reported. The strikes caused damage to critical facilities, prompting immediate repair efforts. Officials said hourly blackout schedules are now in effect across most oblasts, lasting from 00:00 to 23:59.

Power grid operator Ukrenergo noted that the blackout schedules apply in two to four alternating stages and affect both households and industrial users. These schedules are published on the websites of regional power distribution operators.

Crews have begun emergency restoration works and expect power to be restored by the end of the day.

Odesa hit by fire, rail depot and admin buildings damaged

In Odesa Oblast, Russian drones struck both energy and transport infrastructure overnight. The State Emergency Service of Odesa Oblast reported fires at energy sites, which were extinguished by 22 emergency workers with four vehicles, alongside two vehicles and seven personnel from local fire brigades. The Odesa Oblast Military Administration said administrative buildings and a Ukrzaliznytsia rail depot were among the damaged targets.

One civilian suffered shrapnel wounds and received medical attention. Local authorities confirmed that critical infrastructure is now operating on backup generators, and “invincibility points” have been opened to provide heating and electricity access for civilians. Law enforcement is documenting what officials describe as further Russian war crimes.

According to Suspilne, the air raid alert in Odesa Oblast began at 23:01 on 10 November. The Air Force warned of incoming attack drones from the Black Sea toward Izmail district. At 00:28, several groups of drones were confirmed moving toward Reni. The alert ended at 1:35.

Launch points included Russia’s Oryol, Bryansk, Kursk, and Millerovo, as well as the Russian-occupied village of Hvardiiske in Crimea. Approximately 80 of the drones were Shaheds.

The strikes focused on frontline oblasts including the oblasts of Donetsk, Kharkiv, and Dnipropetrovsk, as well as Odesa. Ukraine’s defense used aviation, anti-aircraft missile units, electronic warfare systems, drone defense groups, and mobile fire teams to respond. As of 09:30, 53 drones had been shot down or suppressed across the north, east, and south.
