Monitoring channels reported that Ukrainian air defenses downed a ballistic missile flying over Kharkiv for the first time during the war between 3:15 p.m. and 4:15 p.m. UTC on January 10, 2026, according to posts by @Maks_NAFO_FELLA citing the channels, which noted such interceptions were previously considered nearly impossible due to missiles arriving in 40-90 seconds. Photos of the downed missile were shared in the same posts by @Maks_NAFO_FELLA over the past hour. The reports highlight the rapid flight time of ballistic missiles over the city, making air defense challenging. A Telegram channel reported a danger of UAV attack in Russia's Kursk region during the reporting window. Separately, a post by @clement_molin warned of an impending humanitarian crisis in Zaporizhia, 20 km from the front line, urging preparations including fortifications, evacuations, and anti-drone measures, as shared over the past hour. Earlier on January 10, Kharkiv Mayor Ihor Terekhov reported a strike on an infrastructural object in the city's Slobid district over the hour ending at 2:45 p.m. UTC.
