Kharkiv on 11 November: deaths in Saltivka, fires and emergency power cuts

As of 20:24 Kyiv time, 11 November 2026.

Kharkiv experienced overnight missile strikes and several drone attacks during the day. Two people were killed following a strike on the Saltivskyi district. A child was among those who needed medical assistance.

The afternoon strike on Saltivka

After 15:00, a Russian drone hit the road surface. A car caught fire; according to the State Emergency Service, its driver and a passenger were killed.

Kharkiv regional military administration head Oleh Syniehubov clarified that three other people needed medical assistance: a 12-year-old girl and a 38-year-old woman suffered acute stress reactions, while a 59-year-old man sustained injuries from glass. They received treatment at the scene.

According to the Saltivskyi district administration, around 350 windows were shattered in two buildings. Municipal workers are boarding up damaged windows, with volunteers and emergency services also helping deal with the aftermath.

What happened earlier in the day

Overnight, a missile strike on the Saltivskyi district caused a 900 m² fire at a garage cooperative. 38 garage units and 15 cars were burning. The State Emergency Service reported one person affected.

Separately, before the strike after 15:00, rescuers had reported drone attacks on the Saltivskyi, Shevchenkivskyi and Osnovianskyi districts. Five people needed medical assistance. Cars, the cladding of a vehicle service station and other structures caught fire. These fires were extinguished by 13:55.

These reports concern separate attacks. The final toll for the day may still be updated.

The electricity situation

Emergency power cuts were introduced in Kharkiv and communities across the region in the morning. The Energy Ministry attributed the restrictions to damaged equipment and reduced voltage in the high-voltage network. A return to predictable schedules depends on stabilising the power system.

Kharkivoblenergo urges people to conserve electricity. Check the operator’s official channel for current updates: restoration times for individual buildings may change.

Our condolences to the families of those killed. Thank you to the rescuers, medics, municipal workers and volunteers helping Kharkiv’s residents.
