Ukraine faces massive Russian aerial strikes on residential and industrial targets

Russia launched a massive wave of aerial attacks across Ukraine on September 11-12, targeting residential areas, industrial facilities, and port infrastructure. Ukrainian air defenses reported intercepting over 200 aerial targets, including drones and missiles such as Iskander-M and Kalibr.

In Odesa, a missile strike hit a multi-story residential building, causing significant structural damage and injuring at least 17 people, including a five-month-old baby. In Zaporizhzhia, drone strikes on residential areas killed two people—a 64-year-old woman and a 37-year-old man—and injured several others. Kryvyi Rih also suffered a strike on an industrial facility, resulting in at least one death and multiple injuries.

Russian forces targeted metallurgical plants in Zaporizhzhia, Dnipro, and Kryvyi Rih, claiming these facilities produced military equipment. Additionally, a drone strike hit a shopping center in Pavlohrad, leaving at least five dead and 67 injured. On the retaliatory side, Ukrainian forces struck a synthetic rubber production facility in Togliatti, Russia.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy characterized the strikes as a strategic attempt to dismantle the Ukrainian economy and break national resistance, noting that the intensity of the attacks has escalated despite ongoing diplomatic discussions.
