Ukraine’s air defense shot down five Shahed drones overnight on Oct. 29, the Air Force said in their morning update.
Russian forcers launched a Kh-59 cruise missile along with the Shaheds. The drones were launched from Russia's port city of Primorsko-Akhtarsk in Krasnodarsk Krai and the Kh-59 was launched from Belgorod region.
The cruise missile was targeted at Poltava Oblast. There were no casualties or damage to civilian infrastructure, according to the regional governor.
All Russian drones were downed over Ukraine's Mykolaiv, Zaporizhzhia and Khmelnytskyi oblasts.
Earlier in the day, Russian troops struck the village of Ivanivka in southern Kherson Oblast, injuring two people.

Independent journalism needs a community —
not a paywall.
We’re working hard to show the world the truth of Russia’s brutal war — and we’re keeping it free for everyone, because reliable information should be available to all.
Our goal: reach 20,000 members to prove independent journalism can survive without paywalls, billionaires, or compromise. Will you help us do it?
