The attack coincided with a U.K. report estimating October as Russia’s deadliest month, with 1,500 Russian casualties daily, totaling 700,000 losses since the conflict began.

Meanwhile, Russia launched 145 drones against Ukraine, hitting Odesa and damaging multiple buildings. Zelensky also reported that North Korean troops, deployed to support Russia, have faced casualties in combat against Ukrainian forces.
