Overnight into 21 November, the Russian forces attacked Ukraine with missiles and Shahed-series attack drones. The air raid alerts lasted for several hours until the last Shaheds were downed at about 2:30 in northwestern Ukraine’s Volyn Oblast.

The Ukrainian Air Force reports that the Russians launched 10 Shahed-type UAVs from the southeast, namely Russia’s Primorsko-Akhtarsk. Additionally, they fired four S-300 anti-aircraft guided missiles targeting the Donetsk direction, and one Iskander-K ground-launched cruise missile from the Dzhankoi area in occupied Crimea.

The Air Force says Ukrainian air defenders destroyed nine enemy Shahed-131/136 drones and one Iskander-K cruise missile.

Ukraine’s Interior Minister Klymenko says the Russian missile attack on Donetsk Oblast hit a hospital and a mine. Six civilians were injured when two missiles hit the territory of a hospital in Selydove, and there might still be people under the rubble. Two more rockets were fired at a mine, killing a worker. 39 miners have been rescued from the mine, according to Klymenko, public broadcaster Suspilne reported.

Meanwhile, in the morning, Russians shelled Kozacha Lopan in Kharkiv Oblast, killing a local man. A fire broke out in one of the houses. While extinguishing the fire, rescuers found the body of a 29-year-old man, said Vyacheslav Zadorenko, head of the Dergachi Military Administration. Village head Vakulenko told Suspilne the man was killed by a shell fragment while sleeping.
