Quote from Lysak: "An air-raid siren is sounded in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast. Shahed drones are moving towards it [the oblast – ed.]. Please, remain in shelters!"
Quote from Kurtiev: "An air-raid siren is sounded in Zaporizhzhia Oblast. Follow the updates."
Quote from Kim: "We have balalaikas [Russian UAVs – ed.] flying over the oblast. Be careful…In general, drones are spotted in other oblasts too. This is their planned third wave…Three [drones – ed.] down."
Details: In Mykolaiv Oblast, the air-raid siren was sounded only in the Voznesensk hromada [an administrative unit designating a town, village or several villages and their adjacent territories – ed.], but at 20:35 it was "manually" sounded throughout Mykolaiv Oblast.
At 21:05, Maksym Marchenko, Head of Odesa Oblast Military Administration, reported that units of Ukrainian air defence shot down four Shahed kamikaze drones in the sky above Odesa Oblast. The drones targeted energy infrastructure facilities.
The air-raid siren was not sounded in Odesa Oblast at the moment.
Background:
- Zaporizhzhia, Dnipropetrovsk and Mykolaiv oblasts came under attack of Russian drones, at first last night, and then on 10 February in the afternoon.
- The same day, the Russian forces also launched about 100 missiles on Ukraine, 71 out of them being air- and sea-based cruise missiles and the rest – S-300 missiles. A total of 61 cruise missiles were destroyed.
- Ten missiles were shot down over the city of Kyiv. Power transmission lines have been damaged.
- Due to the attacks, Rivne and Pivdennoukrainsk Nuclear Power Plants reduced the production of electricity as a preventive measure due to Russian attacks. Instability in the power network caused by the attacks also led to the shutdown of one of Khmelnytskyi Nuclear Power Plant (KNPP) reactor units.
