Russian forces launched 12 Shahed-type kamikaze drones and two Kh-59 guided missiles at Ukraine overnight on Oct. 30, the Air Force wrote.

Ukraine’s air defenses reportedly shot down all of the drones and missiles over Mykolaiv, Kherson, Kirovohrad, Cherkasy, Zhytomyr, Dnipropetrovsk and Khmelnytskyi oblasts.

The missiles were launched from Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia Oblast, and the drones were flying from Russia's port city of Primorsko-Akhtarsk in Krasnodar Krai, according to the Air Force.

In southern Mykolaiv Oblast, air defenses destroyed five Shahed–131/136 drones, Governor Vitalii Kim said on Telegram.
