Russian forces attacked Ukraine overnight on 30 January with one Iskander-M ballistic missile and 111 strike drones, the Ukrainian Air Force reported.
The ballistic missile was launched from Russia's Voronezh Oblast. The 111 drones originated from Bryansk, Oryol, Kursk, Millerovo, Primorsko-Akhtarsk, and occupied Donetsk, according to the Air Force. Approximately 70 of the launched drones were Shahed-type UAVs.
Ukrainian aviation, anti-aircraft missile troops, electronic warfare units, unmanned systems units, and mobile fire groups engaged the aerial targets.
As of 8:00 am, air defense forces had shot down or suppressed 80 Russian UAVs, preliminary data shows.
However, the ballistic missile and 25 strike drones hit 15 locations. Debris from downed UAVs fell at two additional locations.
Russian forces did not strike energy infrastructure during the night but instead reoriented their attacks toward logistics, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said. The Russian forces continue to hit residential areas in cities, he added. In Kharkiv Oblast, Russian forces used ballistic missiles to strike warehouses belonging to an American company.
Russian drones also targeted Zaporizhzhia, Kherson, and Dnipropetrovsk oblasts. The situation remains difficult in the border areas of Chernihiv, Sumy, and Kharkiv oblasts.
On 30 January Russia attacked Kherosn, killing one person and injuring five others. One munition hit the roadway, damaging a minibus with shrapnel. Rescuers recovered the body of the deceased driver from the vehicle.
The Air Force emphasized that the attack was ongoing, with several Russian drones still in Ukrainian airspace at the time of the report.
