Russia launches mass drone attack on Ukraine's central and western regions

Russia launched a massive attack on Ukraine on the evening of October 31, deploying strike and jet-propelled drones toward central and western regions, with guided bombs targeting Zaporizhzhia. The Ukrainian Air Force reported drone movements across multiple areas, including Kyiv, Cherkasy, Vinnytsia, and Khmelnytskyi regions, with threats to the capital and cities like Bila Tserkva and Vasylkiv. Authorities urged residents to remain in shelters. The attack follows a Russian strike on Kyiv on October 30, when explosions were heard before an official air raid alert was issued.
