Escalating drone and artillery strikes reported across Ukraine and Russia

Between November 11 and 13, 2026, intense cross-border strikes resulted in casualties and infrastructure damage in both Ukraine and Russia. On November 11, a Russian strike hit a marketplace in Chornomorsk, Odesa Oblast, killing three people and injuring 11, according to local governor Oleh Kiper. Simultaneously, in the Belgorod region of Russia, a Ukrainian drone attack in the village of Antonovka resulted in one death and two injuries, with further reports of four people injured and one killed in Shebekino on November 13.

Further hostilities occurred in Ukraine's Sumy region, where a Russian strike claimed the lives of two men aged 47 and 57. Additionally, in the Rivne region, five civilians were wounded during a drone strike on a building. On the Russian side, authorities in Volgograd confirmed that drone debris sparked fires at an industrial site, reportedly near a Lukoil refinery. While casualty figures remain subject to change as investigations proceed, these incidents highlight a persistent cycle of aerial and artillery warfare affecting civilian populations and energy infrastructure across the border region.

Authorities in both nations have confirmed the ongoing nature of these attacks, though many figures are described as preliminary. Investigations are currently underway to assess the full extent of the damage to residential and industrial sectors.
