Russia continued shelling Ukraine on 11 October. Explosions were heard in the Odesa, Khmelnytskyi, Kyiv, Dnipro and Mykolaiv regions, with local authorities reporting anti-aircraft defence activity and missiles being shot down. Several rockets hit various areas in the five regions, despite the Ukrainian army’s efforts.

“More missiles. Looks like the new commander of the Russian army overplayed ‘Red Alert’ as a kid. He'd have been better off reading books.”
According to the Southern Operational Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU), five Shahed-136 kamikaze drones were destroyed over the Mykolaiv region between 03:30 and 05:30 a.m. on 11 October.

No one was killed as a result of the strikes.
