Russia’s April 11 mass attack on Ukraine
Russia launched another mass attack on Ukraine using Shahed kamikaze drones, cruise missiles launched from Tu-95MS aircraft, and Kinzhal hypersonic missiles and guided air missiles from Su-34 jets overnight on April 11.
At least 10 strikes were carried out in Kharkiv and the area, causing more challenges to the city’s electrical grid.
Lviv Oblast, especially the city of Stryi less than 150 km from NATO territory in Poland, came under heavy combined blows.
Ukraine neutralized 37 of 40 Shahed-136/131 attack drones, the Ukrainian military’s General Staff reported.
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.
