11 Nov
Summary
- A drone attack caused a power outage in Kryvyi Rih.
- Water and heating systems were affected by the drone strike.
- Apartment buildings, schools, and kindergartens suffered damage.
On Wednesday, November 10, 2026, a significant portion of Kryvyi Rih experienced a power outage following a drone attack. The strike not only knocked out electricity but also severely impacted the city's water and heating infrastructure. Emergency services are actively deploying generators to stabilize water and sewage systems, though restoring heating presents a greater challenge.
The attack, which targeted critical infrastructure facilities on Tuesday, November 9, 2026, resulted in damage to numerous apartment buildings, schools, and kindergartens. Reuters could not immediately verify the full extent of the damage independently. This event took place as the United States initiated new peace efforts at Russia-Ukraine talks in Abu Dhabi, continuing on Wednesday.
