Missile War Monitor: Zaporizhzhia toll rises to 20 as Ukrainian drones shut a third Yandex data centre

Russian guided bombs that hit an apartment block in Zaporizhzhia on October 10 killed 20 people, including three children, Ukraine's State Emergency Service said, NV reported.
Another 18 people were injured, three of them children, and the city declared October 11 a day of mourning, NV said. Rescuers pulled a woman out alive after more than eight hours under the rubble. Earlier in the evening the Kyiv Independent put the toll at at least 15 dead and 17 injured, citing Ivan Vyhivskyi, with the fate of 11 people still unclear.
Overnight on October 11 drones struck the outskirts of Vladimir, east of Moscow, and Yandex Cloud said work at its Vladimir data centre had been "fully stopped", with no one hurt, Fontanka reported. It was the third Yandex data centre hit in a week, after Sasovo in the Ryazan region on the night of October 7-8 and Kaluga on October 9, the paper said.
Vladimir Governor Alexander Avdeyev confirmed an attack on "infrastructure" and a fire, said two substations had been disconnected, leaving about 5,000 residents without power, and said people in the nearest houses were being evacuated. He did not name Yandex.
In Odesa a Russian strike on the evening of October 10 badly damaged a site of internet provider TeNet, which said further operation of the site was "in serious doubt", Ukrinform reported.
Neither Russia's defence ministry nor Ukraine's Air Force had published a tally for the night of October 10-11 at the time of writing, and Russian-side reporting of the night was still incomplete.
Refinery strikes
Komi Republic: Ukrainian drones struck Lukoil's Ukhta refinery on the morning of October 9, and Zelenskiy confirmed the attack the same day, NV reported. Independent outlet Astra geolocated footage of smoke rising from the refinery grounds, and Ukhta airport was briefly closed, the Kyiv Independent reported. Mayor Marina Meteleva called the situation under control, The Moscow Times reported, and Komi head Goldstein said there was no damage to infrastructure. Lukoil had not commented and no halt was reported at the time of writing. It was at least the third strike on the plant, after August 2025 and February 2026.
Rostov region: no Ukrainian claim and no halt had been reported at the NZNP oil-loading terminal in Rostov-on-Don, set on fire on the night of October 9-10, at the time of writing. The terminal ships products from the Novoshakhtinsk refinery. The Moscow Times' Russian service put its capacity at 3.5mn tonnes a year, with about 60,000 cubic metres of tank storage, against about 2.5mn tonnes a year in UNN's report.
Nationwide: Bloomberg counted four Russian refineries hit by Ukraine in the week, with a combined design capacity of about 720,000 b/d, though it said not all of that would go offline. Plants reported halted or cut so far in October account for about 14.8mn tonnes a year, or 5% of Russia's 327mn tonnes nameplate capacity, by IntelliNews' refinery ledger, and up to 162.9mn tonnes, or 50%, if halts reported earlier still hold. Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak put capacity under repair at about 10% in early September.
United States: the Office of Foreign Assets Control licence, General License 135, allows Russian-origin diesel to be sold, delivered and imported into the US until April 7, 2027, but excludes payments into US accounts of Russia's central bank, National Wealth Fund and finance ministry, ANI reported. Trump said Russia would supply "over 300,000 tonnes" immediately and 500,000 tonnes in November. Zelenskiy said: "Allowing Russia to sell petroleum products is an investment in a war that must be ended, not prolonged," Euronews reported.
Metal plants hit
Dnipropetrovsk region: Russia attacked the region more than 10 times on October 10 and targeted infrastructure in Kryvyi Rih, the Kyiv Independent reported, without naming a plant. A jet-powered Shahed had struck an unnamed "infrastructure facility" in the city on October 9, city military administration head Oleksandr Vilkul said. No strike on a named steel, iron ore, coke, ferroalloy, pipe or non-ferrous plant was reported for October 10 or the night of October 10-11 at the time of writing.
Oil depots, factories and military targets in Russia
Vladimir region: RBC-Ukraine put the stricken Yandex data centre's capacity at 50 MW with room for 2,880 server racks and said more than 80 Yandex Cloud services had stopped, citing Yandex and monitoring channels. Yandex Cloud told customers to switch to disaster-recovery plans, and taxi and delivery apps failed in other cities, including St Petersburg, Fontanka reported. No Ukrainian official had claimed the strike at the time of writing.
Rostov region: the railway drawbridge on the Rostov-Bataysk line damaged on the night of October 9-10 reopened a few hours later, Governor Yuri Slyusar said, and Russian Railways said 16 trains had been delayed, Rossiyskaya Gazeta reported. Slyusar said six people were injured when drones hit homes and reported a fire at a "warehouse industrial facility", The Moscow Times said. Two vessels were damaged in Azov.
Moscow: Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said 10 drones flying at the capital were destroyed overnight on October 10, after 15 on the evening of October 9, Fontanka reported. He reported no damage. Restrictions at Moscow's airports had delayed more than 370 flights and cancelled 62 over the previous 24 hours by the evening of October 9, including 158 delays at Vnukovo and 157 at Sheremetyevo, APA reported.
Oryol region: a drone attack overnight on October 10 damaged a power substation in the Znamensky district, cutting power to part of the district, and 13 drones were downed with no one hurt, Governor Andrei Klychkov said, Fontanka reported.
Penza region: Governor Oleg Melnichenko said one drone was shot down overnight on October 11, with no casualties or damage, AiF reported.
Nationwide: Russia's defence ministry claimed 560 Ukrainian drones were destroyed between 20:00 on October 9 and 08:00 on October 10, Interfax reported, and RIA Novosti put its count for the 24 hours at 725 drones and two HIMARS rockets. It claimed a further 78 drones between 08:00 and 20:00 on October 10, edinstvo-news reported. All are defence ministry claims.
Ukraine under fire
Nationwide: Russian attacks killed at least 19 people and injured 39 across Ukraine over the day to October 10, the Kyiv Independent reported, citing regional authorities. On the night of October 9-10 Russia launched 160 drones, 110 of them jet-powered, and 117 were downed or suppressed by 09:00, with hits at 14 locations and debris at 10 more, the Air Force said, LB.ua reported. No final tally for that night had been found at the time of writing.
Grid operator Ukrenergo said Russia had changed tactics: "The enemy's new tactic is continuous strikes on substations and transmission and distribution lines, particularly near large cities with high levels of energy consumption." The attacks "complicate or even prevent the transmission of the required amount of electricity to certain areas, even when surplus generating capacity is available in other regions", it said, NV reported.
Ukrenergo said hourly power cuts of between 0.5 and 1.5 queues would apply to all consumers in some regions from 16:00 to 23:59 on October 11, with limits on industry and business from 15:00, because of Russian strikes on energy facilities, RBC-Ukraine reported.
Kyiv: the city has reopened its "Points of Invincibility", emergency tents where residents can charge devices, get Wi-Fi and find help during outages, in three districts, Euromaidan Press reported. Mayor Vitali Klitschko told AFP on October 9 that residents with friends or relatives outside the capital should leave, though he ordered no evacuation, TASS and the Kyiv Post reported.
Zaporizhzhia: several guided bombs hit a five-storey apartment block on the morning of October 10. Zelenskiy put the toll at 12 dead and 14 injured at about 13:00, NV reported, before the State Emergency Service raised it to 20 dead, including three children, and 18 injured by the evening. Regional official Ivan Fedorov said the fate of six people was unknown in the afternoon. The State Emergency Service said at 13:21 that the search was still going on.

Ivano-Frankivsk region: the region was attacked five times on October 10 without casualties, Governor Svitlana Onyshchuk said, the Kyiv Independent reported.
Data centres, telecoms, media and R&D
Odesa: a strike on the evening of October 10 damaged the "technological complex" of TeNet, an internet and telecoms provider that Liga called the largest in southern Ukraine. The company said life-support systems at the site, including cooling and power generation, were badly damaged, that "further operation of the damaged site is currently in serious doubt" and that some subscribers could lose service while traffic is rerouted, Ukrinform reported. Regional governor Oleh Kiper said no one was hurt. Deputy mayor Oleksandr Filatov said the building is an architectural monument and that a municipal medical facility nearby was badly damaged, Liga reported. The weapon was not named.
Weapons and technology
Ukraine: the upgraded An-196 Liutyi used on Ukhta has a range of up to 2,500 km, Zelenskiy said, and Fire Point co-owner Denis Shtilerman put the range of the FP-6, an upgraded FP-1 first used in July, at up to 3,400 km, Militarnyi reported. The FP-6 has a new wing that doubles as a fuel tank.
Russia: a Geran-4 drone shot down in Ukraine carried a 32-element anti-jamming satellite-navigation antenna that was "likely" made at Alabuga, judging by an "ALB" stamp, Militarnyi reported, citing The Insider. It resembles products of China's Harxon, which was later sanctioned. The place and date of the shoot-down were not given.
Spain and Greece: both are still refusing to hand Ukraine Patriot interceptors that are close to expiry, despite pressure from the EU and Nato, The Telegraph reported on October 9, according to NV. Greece holds at least 200 PAC-2 missiles near the end of their service life, the paper said. Spain's foreign minister said last month Madrid would send five interceptors. Neither government had commented.
Ukrainian maker F-Drones said the US had ordered another 1,320 of its F10 strike drones under the Pentagon's drone dominance programme, with delivery due by the end of November, Gordon reported. The order still needs Ukrainian export approval.
French analyst Clement Molin counted 770 Russian trucks and other vehicles hit by Ukrainian drones in September, a monthly record in his series, with the R-280 highway on the land corridor to occupied Crimea a main target, NEXTA reported. The count is his own and has not been independently verified.
Arson and sabotage in the EU and the UK
EU and UK: no new arson, sabotage or drone incursion was reported in the EU or the UK on October 10 or the night of October 10-11 at the time of writing.
Montenegro: police and the National Security Agency detained Mikhail Zvinchuk, founder of the pro-war Russian Telegram channel Rybar, and three other Russians on October 9 "for reasons of national and internal security", and they are to be expelled, The Moscow Times reported. No charges were reported; Rybar said the team had come to film a monastery.
Tit for tat
Russia's guided bombs killed 20 people in one Zaporizhzhia apartment block on October 10, and its strike the same evening put the future of an Odesa internet provider's main technical site in doubt. Overnight Ukraine's drones stopped a third Yandex data centre in a week. Asked about the data-centre strikes, Zelenskiy has said: "We always respond in kind."
Ukrenergo has announced power cuts for October 11 as Russia keeps hitting substations near big cities. Ukraine is going after the fuel and computing capacity that keep Russia's economy running, even as Washington licenses imports of Russian diesel.
The ledgers
The running ledgers are kept as six public spreadsheets at permanent addresses. The first three are non-exhaustive, every row is sourced, and where only one side has spoken the row says so. Defence ministry figures are recorded as claims, and in the sabotage ledger attribution is given exactly as the authorities state it and no further. The fourth tracks what has happened to Ukraine's steel, iron ore, coke, ferroalloy and non-ferrous plants since 2021, grouped by owner. The fifth tracks strikes on data centres, telecoms, media and research sites; the sixth tracks refinery strikes.
