Ukraine Hits 30 Russian Military Targets in October
Ukrainian officials said the campaign disrupted missile fuel, electronics and drone production while destroying or damaging Su-34 aircraft valued at about $100 million.
- In October 2026, Russian forces launched over 4,000 jet-powered drones, approximately 150 ballistic missiles, and 80 cruise missiles against Ukraine, according to Colonel Yurii Ihnat, head of the Communications Department of Ukraine's Air Force Command, who disclosed the figures on November 2.

- President Zelenskyy stated that 100 Patriot interceptors monthly would protect Ukrainian skies, yet the United States approved a $2.1-billion deal for 500 PAC-3 missiles on October 31 with deliveries delayed years.
- Ukrainian Defense Forces struck at least 30 strategic targets inside Russia during October, including seven defense industry facilities and three military airfields, disrupting missile fuel and drone production capabilities.
