🏢 Kharkiv

A Russian drone strike hit residential blocks in Kharkiv, destroying the upper floors of one building and wounding 12 people. Separately, Russian forces launched an attack on the country using a Kh-59 missile and 121 drones. In Rivne, security services arrested a 19-year-old student for allegedly attempting to bomb a bus carrying military personnel on behalf of Russia. The plot follows the identification of some 40,000 cameras across the country that authorities believe have been used by Russian forces to calibrate their strikes since 2022. Military reports suggest Ukraine hit eight Russian ballistic missile launch systems between September and early October, but the domestic picture remains difficult. Economic growth has effectively stopped, and experts are now advising citizens to stockpile fuel and prepare for the possibility of scheduled water rations.
