A barrage of Russian missiles hit cities across Ukraine, knocking out power
Updated November 15, 2022

Russia unleashed a wave of missile strikes Tuesday at cities across Ukraine, hitting residential buildings and knocking out electricity in urban areas, in one of the most intense air assaults of the war.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the Russian barrage included 85 missiles in the space of a couple hours on Tuesday afternoon and evening.

Ukraine shot down some of the incoming missiles, but others reached their targets in the capital Kyiv, the northeastern city Kharkiv, the western city of Lviv, and the southern city of Odesa, among others.

We have members in Lviv and Washin is in Odesa.

For the massive launch of missiles, Russia has attracted 14 Tu-95 strategic missile carriers, ships of the Russian Black Sea Fleet and Iranian Shahed-136/131 kamikaze attack drones.

“In total, more than 90 missiles were fired: about 70 air-launched Kh-101 / Kh-555 cruise missiles from the north of the Caspian Sea and from the Volgodonsk region (Rostov Region), as well as about 20 sea-based Kalibr missiles from the Black Sea and 10 kamikaze drones,” the statement said.

According to preliminary data, the air defense destroyed 73 enemy cruise missiles and all 10 kamikaze drones.

The military emphasizes that the enemy continues to use high-precision weapons against Ukraine’s critical infrastructure. Also, as a result of rocket strikes, apartment buildings were also damaged.
