President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that Ukrainian air defense forces neutralized the majority of aerial targets launched during the night's assault, with the exception of ballistic missiles. Between the evening of July 10 and the morning of July 11, Ukrainian air defense systems shot down two Kh-59/69 air-to-surface missiles and 111 drones deployed by Russian forces.
