Overview
- Ukraine says it downed 623 of 653 drones and 52 missiles in the Oct. 30 overnight barrage across ten regions, which killed at least four people and wounded many, including children.
- Ukrenergo and DTEK report damaged plants and warn of sustained rolling outages, with the possibility of continuous cuts to stabilize the system.
- Russia’s defense ministry says it struck military‑industrial, energy and air‑base targets and claims to have shot down 170 Ukrainian drones, while power disruptions were reported near Moscow after Ukrainian drone attacks that Kyiv’s intelligence said targeted an oil pipeline.
- Fighting around Pokrovsk remains critical, with Ukraine deploying special‑operations units to expel infiltrations as Moscow touts a tactical encirclement that Kyiv denies.
- Kyiv presses partners for tougher measures, urging EU tariff hikes on unsanctioned Russian goods and awaiting a White House decision after the Pentagon signaled readiness to supply Tomahawk missiles.
