Overview
- Ukraine's General Staff reported 265 combat clashes on Nov. 9, including stopping 97 Russian assaults on the Pokrovsk front.
- Military spokesmen said Pokrovsk and neighboring Myrnohrad are not encircled, with rotations and resupply continuing as urban fighting intensifies in the industrial zone.
- Ukraine’s Air Force said defenses destroyed or jammed 52 of 67 drones launched since the evening of Nov. 9, after Russia also fired Kinzhal and S‑300/400 missiles.
- Ukrainian strikes cut electricity and heating in Voronezh and Belgorod, local governors said, while Russia’s earlier mass barrage left Ukraine on scheduled outages and repairs across multiple regions.
- Officials warned that attacks hit substations supplying the Khmelnytskyi and Rivne nuclear plants, and the IAEA urged restraint to reduce the risk of radiological consequences.
