   "summary": "Ukraine's Air Force said Russia attacked overnight on 11 October (from 18:00 on 10 October) with 116 strike drones, including Shahed-type drones (95 of them jet-powered), Gerbera drones and Parodiya-type decoys. It said 94 were shot down or suppressed by 08:30.",
   "impact": "According to the Air Force, hits by 10 drones were recorded at seven locations, and debris from downed drones fell at nine locations. The specific locations and consequences were not given in the cited report.",
   "evidence": "All figures come from the Ukrainian Air Force, a party to the war, as reported by Ukrinform. 'Shot down or suppressed' includes drones neutralised by electronic warfare and is not the same as confirmed destruction. The Air Force said the attack was still ongoing at the time of its report.",
   "unknown": "Where the hits occurred, the extent of damage and casualties, and how many drones reached their targets are not established in the cited source.",
   "attribution": "The Ukrainian Air Force attributes the attack to Russia and says the drones were launched from the directions of Oryol, Kursk and Primorsko-Akhtarsk in Russia, occupied Donetsk and Hvardiiske in occupied Crimea. This is the assessment of a party to the war.",
