18.11.2024The Day Odesa and Sumy Towers Fell
The morning began with reports of Biden authorizing ATACMS strikes within Russia, specifically in Kursk region, marking a shift in Western policy. Germany announced plans to deliver 4,000 "mini-Taurus" kamikaze drones to Ukraine.

Russian forces struck residential buildings in Sumy and Odesa with ballistic missiles. The Sumy attack resulted in 11 deaths and 89 injuries, while the Odesa strike killed 10 and wounded 47, including children. Both attacks targeted civilian infrastructure, continuing the pattern from November 17's massive missile assault.

By evening, Josep Borrell confirmed U.S. authorization for Ukraine to use missiles with 300km range against Russian targets. Ukrenergo announced nationwide power outages scheduled for November 19, from 6:00 to 23:00, as infrastructure damage from recent strikes necessitated controlled blackouts. Reports emerged of Russia accumulating approximately 300 X-101 cruise missiles, with monthly production capacity of 50 units.
