Ballistic missile launches from Yemen to Riyadh

At least one launch

All clear given in Riyadh.

⚡️🇾🇪 WHO: Yemen’s health emergency operations centre recorded 1,771 deaths and 7,959 injuries through October 30. The October 26–30 count added 94 deaths and 564 injuries, with Lahj accounting for nearly half of those casualties.

More than 300,000 people have been displaced, nearly all since September. Health Cluster partners have reached more than 92,000 displaced people.

WHO said only 12% of its $31 million emergency response plan had been funded, while access constraints and cancelled aid flights continued to disrupt the delivery of medical supplies.

Ukrainian presidential advisor on the development of defence technologies Serhii "Flash" reports that Russia has been equipping their Iskander-M ballistic missiles with new optical guidance heads in order to accurately strike bridges across the Dnieper River in Kyiv.

A radar scan of the target location takes place for a few seconds during the ballistic missile's terminal phase, allowing for a flight correction to be sent to this guidance system, substantially increasing it's accuracy.

Two days after the Russian Iskander-M ballistic missile strikes on the "Northern" Bridge across the Dnieper River in Kyiv, the bridge remains closed to traffic in both directions.

Large traffic jams have formed at the Paton Bridge due to rerouting of vehicles.

NASA FIRMS data indicates that multiple large fires are burning at the Kirishi Oil Refinery in Leningrad Oblast following Ukrainian long-range drone strikes.

Russian Geran-2/4 drones attacked electrical substations across Dnipropetrovsk Oblast last night, including in Dnipro, Kryvyi Rih, Synelnykove, Pavlohrad, Shakhtarske, among other locations.

Power outages are reported in large parts of the region following the strikes.

Russia continued their large-scale Geran-2/4/5 drone attacks against Ukraine over the last 72 hours, using over 1,000 drones and S8000 Banderol cruise missiles to strike hundreds of targets across Ukraine.

The heaviest attacks were carried out on Kharkiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Kyiv, and Vinnytsia Oblasts. Compared to previous days, the strikes focused more heavily on Cherkasy and Kirovohrad Oblasts, and there was an increase in intensity on Zhytomyr and Rivne Oblasts.

The primary targets were, once again, electrical substations, thermal power plants, warehouses, and railway infrastructure. Some port infrastructure in Odesa Oblast and bridges in Zaporizhzhia City were also hit, while more tactical-level targets were struck closer to the frontline.

Note: Not every explosion necessarily represents an impact, as some can be mixed up as interceptions, although the vast majority of these locations did experience direct strikes. Additionally, this report will not have accounted for every single targeted location, and it's expected that there is a large number of other areas hit that aren't listed here.

Apologies for the delay, I've run the numbers for the October 2026 Military Vehicle losses.

As always, Russian losses have been taken from UkraineWarSpotting, whilst Ukrainian losses are from LostArmour.

I only include destroyed and captured, so no damaged ones, unclear footage or lack of aftermath. I've updated the September statistics as usual, with there only being a couple of additions to the losses in some categories for both sides (nothing significant).

Bloomberg reports that Ukraine will remain vulnerable to Russian ballistic missile attacks for at least another year, as they are not expected to receive any significant amount of Patriot PAC-2/3 interceptor missiles during this time.

Ukraine is expected to receive their next large batch from Germany in 2027, and another from Poland in 2028.

Ballistic missile launches from Yemen to Riyadh

The Ukrainian Parliament has advanced new legislation that would create the Space Forces as a new branch of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

This would involve the development of space technologies, including defending against threats from space, such as Russia's Oreshnik IRBM. A national early-warning system to detect Russian missile launchers was also proposed as, which could involve Ukraine's own satellites.

This comes as Ukraine has reportedly been testing it's own exo-atmospheric interception systems, and is in the aftermath of the October Starshield/Starlink restrictions.
