Russian Strike Hits Energy Infrastructure in Nizhyn as Ukraine Reports Attacks on Russian Drone Hub and Weapons System
By Maya Wilson
Russian forces struck energy infrastructure in the Ukrainian city of Nizhyn on Tuesday, November 10, while Ukrainian military units reported separate strikes against a Russian drone hub at Donetsk Airport and a heavy flamethrower system in the occupied part of Donetsk region, Ukrinform reported.
Nizhyn Mayor Oleksandr Kodola said on Facebook that Russian forces had been attacking the city and surrounding community since early morning. “Energy infrastructure facilities have been hit,” he said.
Kodola said specialists were working to restore power supplies, but continuing Russian air attacks were hampering their efforts. Twelve resilience centers had been established across the city, he added.
Ukrinform’s report did not specify which energy facilities were hit or provide a casualty figure for the November 10 attack. The same report said Russian strike drones had attacked Chernihiv region on November 9, injuring a woman. That was a separate incident.
In a separate development, operators of Ukraine’s 412th Nemesis Separate Unmanned Systems Brigade struck what the unit described as a Russian drone hub at Donetsk Airport, Ukrinform reported, citing the brigade’s Telegram statement and video. The brigade said the operation used middle-strike weapons.
“There should be fewer enemy drones over Ukrainian cities,” the brigade said. “That is why we not only intercept drones that have already been launched but also destroy the infrastructure used to launch them.”
Ukrinform also reported that operators of the 413th Raid Regiment of Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces struck a Russian TOS-1A Solntsepyok heavy flamethrower system in the temporarily occupied part of Donetsk region. Both operations were reported as Ukrainian military claims.
The report provided no independent damage assessment for either Ukrainian operation and included no Russian response. It did not detail the extent of damage at the airport drone hub or the TOS-1A system.
The incidents underscore the opposing targets described in the report: Russian attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure and Ukrainian efforts to hit military systems and facilities used by Russian forces.
Reporting based on Ukrinform; this story will be updated as further information becomes available.
