According to the Ukrainian Air Force, during the attack between 05:00 and 07:00, Russian troops attacked the city of Dnipro (enterprises and critical infrastructure) with missiles of various types. In particular, an intercontinental ballistic missile was launched from the Astrakhan region of the Russian Federation, an X-47M2 Kinzhal aeroballistic missile was launched from the Tambov region from a MiG-31K fighter jet, and seven X-101 cruise missiles were launched from Tu-95MS strategic bombers (launch area Volgograd region of the Russian Federation).

As reported by OBOZ.UA, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called on Ukrainians to always pay attention to air alerts, regardless of the time and news, because we have a "crazy neighbor," and because of this, it is simply impossible to predict his actions. This was his reaction to the Russian IPSO about an alleged massive missile attack on November 20, which caused several foreign embassies to suspend their operations in the country.
