Russian attacks killed 9 people and injured 39 others across Ukraine over the past day, while two Russian missiles entered Moldovan airspace on Nov. 11, local authorities said.

Two Russian Banderol cruise missiles violated Moldovan airspace on the morning of Nov. 11, Moldovan authorities reported. Both missiles crossed into Moldova from Ukraine's Odesa Oblast at around 6 a.m. local time and remained in Moldovan airspace for four to five minutes before returning to Odesa Oblast, according to the statement.

Russian forces launched a Kh-59/69 guided missile from the Black Sea, 163 long-range attack drones, including 91 jet-powered drones, drone decoys, and Banderol/Dan-T cruise missiles at Ukraine overnight on Nov. 11, the Air Force said.

As of 8 a.m. local time, Ukrainian air defenses had intercepted 130 Russian drones, including 72 jet-powered ones, and 14 Banderol/Dan-T cruise missiles, according to the statement. Drone strikes were recorded at 17 locations, while falling debris was reported at seven others, the Air Force said.

Russian attacks left some consumers without electricity in eight oblasts — Kyiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Zhytomyr, Zaporizhzhia, Rivne, Kharkiv, Chernihiv and Odesa, the Energy Ministry said.

The situation remains most difficult in Kyiv, Dnipropetrovsk and Odesa oblasts, according to the statement.

Overnight on Nov. 11, Russian forces attacked the region again, killing a 70-year-old woman and damaging energy infrastructure, according to the local authorities.

In Sumy Oblast, Russian forces launched more than 50 attacks on 20 settlements, injuring five people, including a 14-year-old girl, according to the local military administration.
