Broader Attack on Ukraine

During the night of June 11, Russia launched an assault on Ukraine, deploying two Iskander-M ballistic missiles and 221 attack drones, including Shahed, Gerbera, and Italmas models, along with Parody-type decoy drones. The air defense effort involved aviation, missile units, electronic warfare teams, unmanned systems units, and mobile fire groups from Ukraine's Defense Forces.

This attack is part of the prolonged military conflict between Russia and Ukraine, now in its third year. It underscores not only the escalating intensity of hostilities but also the toll on civilians, who face constant threats and losses.
