Russian Missile and Drone Barrage Kills Six in Ukraine

A large overnight Russian barrage of missiles and drones killed six people and wounded 29 across several regions of Ukraine, officials said, as President Volodymyr Zelensky renewed his appeal for faster weapons deliveries.

Overnight Barrage

Russia launched 12 missiles, including six ballistic missiles, along with 121 drones against Ukraine overnight into July 11, 2026, according to Ukrainian officials. Air defenses shot down or electronically suppressed two missiles and 111 of the drones. Russia's Defense Ministry said its forces had targeted drone production facilities in Kyiv and the ports of Izmail and Chornomorsk in the Odesa region.

Casualties Across Several Regions

In the northeastern Sumy region, two glide bombs hit a crowded area near a public transport stop, killing four people, including a child, and wounding 17. In the southern port city of Odesa, a missile strike on a building killed two more people and wounded one. In the capital, Kyiv, 11 people, including a child, were wounded in the overnight missile and drone attacks. In total, six people were killed and 29 wounded across the country.

Kyiv Seeks Faster Air Defenses

Zelensky again urged Ukraine's partners to speed up deliveries of weapons and air-defense systems following the strikes. Ukrainian forces separately said they had targeted Russian oil tankers, part of continued fighting that has extended beyond the land front. The overnight assault marked another high-casualty night in a war that has continued to inflict civilian losses in cities far from the front line.
