Russian forces attack Kyiv with ballistic missiles, strikes cut power in Rivne region
Kyiv
Around 1:00 a.m. on November 12, the Ukrainian Air Force warned of the threat of Russian forces deploying ballistic weapons. Explosions rang out in Kyiv shortly afterward.
The KСMA urged capital residents to proceed immediately to shelters and remain there until the air raid alert ended, emphasizing that a ballistic threat to Kyiv signifies a red level of danger.
At 1:25 a.m., repeated explosions echoed across the capital while the threat of ballistic missile use remained active.
Zhytomyr region
Russian troops also continue to terrorize the Zhytomyr region.
Fires broke out at the shelling sites, which rescuers from the State Emergency Service of Ukraine extinguished. At the same time, the constant threat of repeated Russian strikes complicated the work of emergency services.
Rivne region
Overnight, Russian forces also attacked the Rivne region, targeting energy infrastructure facilities, enterprises, and the residential sector.
Specifically, the town of Kostopil lost electricity. According to Koval, critical infrastructure facilities switched to operating on generators.
Emergency response units from the SES joined other specialized services to mitigate the aftermath of the shelling.
According to rescuers, no fatalities have been reported, and crews had completed all response operations at the impact sites by the time officials released the update.
Background
Additionally, on the night of November 9, the northern part of the Rivne region endured Russian attacks throughout the evening and night, hitting energy facilities, enterprises, and residential areas.
Energy infrastructure currently remains one of the primary targets of Russian attacks. On the night of November 11, Russian invaders struck six major electrical substations in the Vinnytsia, Kirovohrad, Zhytomyr, and Cherkasy regions, while power transmission lines also came under fire.
