Russian forces launched a series of strikes across Ukraine overnight on November 9, hitting a long-range drone production facility, several electrical substations and a cargo ship transporting weapons for the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU). Russia’s Defense Ministry released details of the operation, identifying targets in several regions and the Black Sea.

Among the facilities struck was the Globinsky Plant in the Poltava Region. According to the ministry, the site was used to assemble and store long-range unmanned aerial vehicles. Russian forces hit the plant during the overnight attacks.

Energy infrastructure was also targeted in four Ukrainian regions. In the Kiev Region, a power substation near Belaya Tserkov was hit, while another facility came under attack near Krivoy Rog in the Dnepropetrovsk Region. Russian forces also struck an electrical substation near Cherkassy and a railway traction substation in the Vinnitsa Region.

The operation extended into the Black Sea, where a cargo vessel was hit southwest of Odessa. The Russian Defense Ministry said the ship was carrying weapons and military equipment intended for Ukrainian troops.

The ministry added that Russian forces continue using drones to target energy facilities supporting Ukraine’s defense industry and AFU installations. The strikes also focus on sites involved in manufacturing and storing attack drones, as well as vessels transporting military supplies and dual-use cargo.
