Russia and Ukraine continue exchanging massive strikes in the rear areas. The night of February 11th was not an exception.
According to the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, in total, 40 Ukrainian UAVs were intercepted and destroyed by Russian air defense in the rear regions. They include:
- 18 UAVs in the Saratov region;
- 13 UAVs in the Rostov region;
- 6 UAVs in the Bryansk region;
- 2 UAVs in the Volgograd region;
- 1 UAV in the border Belgorod region.
The night attack was not the most massive one but some of Ukrainian UAVs managed to break through Russian air defense. Most of the drones targeted the rear Saratov region, in particular the local military airfield, which is the home base of Russian strategic bombers, and oil refinery. As a result of the attack, a fire broke out at the oil refinery. The governor of the region confirmed the attack and some damage to ‘an industrial facility’ in Saratov. According to preliminary reports, there were no victims as a result of the strikes.
The first attacks on Russian refineries took place a year ago. In recent months, their intensity has increased. Russians tried to strengthen the protection of their fuel depot against enemy drones, for example, with bar screens, but the problem of protecting such facilities is still not resolved.
No significant damage was reported in other Russian regions last night.
In their turn, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are pounding Ukrainian rear infrastructure with daily massive combined attacks with drones, missiles, MLRS.
On February 11th, the Russian Defense Ministry officially confirmed the night attack in Ukraine. Russian military officials quite rarely comment on Russian strikes and the reports are often a signal of particularly severe damage.
‘Last night, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation launched a group strike with high-precision long-range ground, air and sea-based weapons and unmanned aerial vehicles, as a result of which the facilities of the gas and energy complex that ensure the operation of the Ukrainian military-industrial complex, the infrastructure of military airfields, storage and preparation sites for the use of unmanned aerial vehicles were hit. The objectives of the strike have been achieved,’ the report reads.
According to the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Ukrainian air defense destroyed only 57 out of 124 Russian drones. 66 UAVs allegedly disappeared. The interception of Russian missiles was not reported.
The Energy Minister of Ukraine confirmed that ‘Russian forces inflicted a massive blow on Ukraine’s energy system.’ Emergency blackouts have been introduced across the country.
According to military monitoring sources, on February 1, day and night, the Russian Aerospace Forces and missile forces attacked targets in the Donbass, Sumy, Kharkiv, Zaporozhie, Kherson regions, Pavlograd and Odessa, Mirgorod and Lubny in the Poltava region, near Vinnytsia, Kiev, Chernigov, Mykolaev, Uman and Kanev in the Cherkassy region, Obukhov and Brovary in the Kiev region. The Russian military launched drones, Kalibr, Iskander, Kh-59/69 missiles. Russian strikes were recorded every ten minutes throughout the country.
On the evening of February 10th, Ukrainian military reporters confirmed the launch of up to 20 Kalibr missiles from the Black Sea. They reportedly targeted gas infrastructure facilities in the Odessa region. However, strikes of Kalibr missiles were also reported in the area of Mirgorod in the Poltava region, where a military airfield is located. The local authorities confirmed Russian strikes in several settlements in the Poltava region. According to unconfirmed local reports, Russian strikes targeted some local gas fields. The ongoing devastating Russian strikes on Ukrainian infrastructure on various gas fields leave Kiev with no facilities to sell to NATO warmongers through companies like the notorious Burisma. LINK
About a dozen large explosions thundered in the town of Merefa in the Kharkiv region. Energy infrastructure was destroyed in the city of Kharkiv and in the area of Zmiev.
More details about the exact targets of Russian strikes and the damage they caused are yet to be revealed but the scale of the attack supposes the devastating consequences for the Kiev regime.
