KYIV — Russian attacks killed at least seven civilians and injured 80 across Ukraine over the past day, regional authorities said Saturday, Nov. 14. Ukraine’s military said it struck an oil hub deep inside Russia and a military airfield.[1][2]

Zaporizhzhia hit hardest
In Zaporizhzhia Oblast, Russian attacks killed three people, including a child, and injured 62, including eight children, Governor Ivan Fedorov said. One strike of 10 missiles hit a multistory apartment building and injured 29 people, six of them seriously, he said. Two apartment buildings were left uninhabitable.[1]
Officials in other regions reported two dead and five injured in Kherson, one dead in Donetsk and one dead and three injured in Kharkiv. Seven people were injured in Sumy, two in Dnipropetrovsk and one in Chernihiv. In Odesa, a damaged power line left about 50,000 customers without electricity.[1]
Ukraine’s Air Force said Russia launched 96 Shahed-type and decoy drones overnight and that 81 were intercepted.[1]
Ukraine’s strikes inside Russia
Ukraine’s General Staff said it again hit the Samara oil pumping station near the village of Prosvet, about 950 kilometers from Ukrainian-held territory, setting several storage tanks on fire. The station blends crude into Urals, which makes up as much as half of Russia’s oil exports.[2]
The General Staff also said a hangar, an aviation fuel tank and the command post at the Lipetsk-2 airfield, more than 340 kilometers from the border, were hit on Nov. 13. These are Ukraine’s own claims; Russia had not commented on them in the reporting we reviewed.[2]
The diplomatic backdrop
The strikes came as President Volodymyr Zelensky said U.S. envoys floated a Donbas withdrawal in exchange for NATO membership. Earlier this week a Russian drone hit a Kyiv hospital and Finland confirmed a strike on a Russian warship.
