Russia launched an overnight ballistic missile attack on Kyiv early on Nov. 12, causing explosions, air raid alerts and fires while Ukrainian air defenses responded. A Russian drone then struck a nine-story apartment block in Kyiv's Solomianskyi district that morning, killing one person and injuring others, with a fire and structural damage. Kyiv Post's headline reported five injured while its article said two people were hurt, and Ukrainska Pravda reported six injured. The Kyiv Independent reported that a separate Russian attack damaged energy infrastructure in Khmelnytskyi Oblast, causing emergency outages in the Shepetivka district, according to Governor Serhii Tiurin. Ukrainska Pravda reported that overnight strikes on Rivne Oblast left more than 160 settlements without power, according to Oleksandr Koval. Ukrainian air defenses destroyed or jammed 94 of the 123 drones and missiles launched overnight, with Iskander-M, S-400 and Zircon missiles used across 17 locations. The strikes continue Russia's pressure on Ukrainian cities and the power grid as colder weather approaches.
