A Russian drone struck the grounds of a vocational school dormitory in the Vinnytsia region on November 1, killing two people including a 13-year-old girl, emergency services said.

The drone hit between a dormitory and a school building in the Kozyatyn district, Governor Natalia Zabolotna said. Four people were injured and taken to hospital, two five-year-old girls, a 16-year-old boy and a 24-year-old man, and two cars were set on fire, the State Emergency Service said, the Kyiv Independent reported.

Late on November 1 Ukraine's Air Alert app sent false warnings of nuclear and chemical threats and street fighting across the country, one of them reading "Don't worry, the Oreshnik is on its way", and the air force said the app had likely been hacked by the enemy, the Kyiv Independent reported. The State Emergency Service said the national alert system was working normally by midnight.

SOURCING NOTE: no authority has named who was behind the attack; the air force and the Centre for Countering Disinformation said only that the app was likely compromised. Russia's Emergency Situations Ministry said early on November 2 that its own app had been hacked and false information sent to users. A Ukrainian activist claimed on Telegram that Ukrainian hackers were behind the Russian incident; a single social media post, not verified by a newswire.

Ukrainian monitoring channels said drones struck an oil pumping and storage station at Prosvet in the Samara region overnight on November 1-2, and photographs analysed by the exiled outlet Astra showed it on fire, the Moscow Times reported. Governor Vyacheslav Fedorishchev said air defences were repelling an attack and told residents not to publish photographs or video, but reported no damage.

Russia's defence ministry said air defences destroyed 212 Ukrainian drones overnight over 14 regions, the Moscow region, the Krasnodar territory, Crimea and the Black and Azov seas, Interfax reported, after 47 during the day on November 1.

SOURCING NOTE: the ministry gave no breakdown by region and no hour window for the overnight figure; the daytime figure covers 08:00 to 20:00 Moscow time.

Russia sent 193 drones at Ukraine overnight from 18:00 on November 1, 75 of them jet-powered Shaheds, and air defences downed or suppressed 154, with hits at 26 locations and debris at nine, the air force said, Ukrainska Pravda reported. During the day on November 1, from 06:30 to 19:00, Russia launched 326 drones, 55 of them jet-powered, and six S8000 Banderol missiles, and air defences downed 274 drones and all six missiles, the air force said.

Refinery strikes

Ukraine has resumed its attacks on Russian oil refineries after a two week pause. 

Nizhny Novgorod region, update: Fire Point, the maker of the FP-1 long-range drone, named the Kstovo oil refinery in a Telegram post on the morning of November 1 after the overnight attack, UNN reported. After a crisis meeting the regional government said fuel supply was working normally and urged drivers not to panic-buy, Kommersant reported. The Investigative Committee opened a terrorism case and power in the Kstovo district was fully restored, Vedomosti reported.

Samara region: the Prosvet oil pumping station reported on fire overnight on November 1-2 is covered above; it is not a refinery.

The refinery ledger counts 27 refineries hit and 210 dated strikes. No plant has yet been reported halted or cut in November; up to 145.8mn tonnes a year, or 45% of Russia's 327mn tonnes nameplate total, is offline if earlier halts still hold. In October plants reported halted or cut accounted for about 14.8mn tonnes a year, about 5%. Russian officials put capacity under repair at about 10%, Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said in early September.

Metal plants hit

Nationwide: no new strike on a Ukrainian steel, iron ore, coke, ferroalloy or non-ferrous plant was reported for November 1 or the night of November 1-2 at the time of writing. The metals ledger is unchanged.

Oil depots, factories and military targets in Russia

Rostov region, update: President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on November 1 that the Kamensky plant, a defence industry enterprise involved in missile production, had been hit, and that a Pantsir-S2 air defence system and a command and staff vehicle of the S-400 Triumf system were also hit, putting the value of the air defence assets struck at around $70mn. He thanked the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) and other units.

SOURCING NOTE: Zelenskiy's own post on X. The strike on the plant was on the night of October 30-31 (November 1 edition); he did not say where or when the air defence systems were hit. The $70mn is his estimate and has not been independently verified.

Occupied Luhansk: the monitoring channels Exilenova+ and Supernova+ reported explosions and a preliminary hit on the Lugakom telecoms operator overnight on November 1-2, Echo reported.

Ukraine under fire

Nationwide: Zelenskiy said Russian forces hit energy infrastructure in the Dnipropetrovsk, Vinnytsia, Zhytomyr and Khmelnytskyi regions overnight on October 31-November 1, targeting substations, transformers and power lines, and that hundreds of thousands of families remained without power. Russia launched 1,940 attack drones, more than 1,580 guided aerial bombs and 44 missiles, 36 of them ballistic, at Ukraine over the past week and was trying to exploit a shortage of ballistic missile interceptors, he said.

SOURCING NOTE: Zelenskiy's own post on X. TASS reported that Ukraine's Energy Ministry had earlier said six regions were partly without power, with the Kyiv and Dnipropetrovsk regions worst hit; not reconciled with Zelenskiy's four.

Nationwide: grid operator Ukrenergo said hourly outage schedules for all consumers and capacity limits for industry would apply in some regions on November 2 because of Russian attacks on energy facilities, UNN reported. DTEK introduced emergency outages in Kyiv and the Kyiv region on the morning of November 2 on Ukrenergo's orders, Censor.net reported.

Vinnytsia region: besides the strike in the Kozyatyn district, Russian forces attacked energy facilities in the region overnight on October 31-November 1, and in Vinnytsia city a private warehouse, a public transport stop, a car and windows in apartment blocks were damaged, Ukrainska Pravda reported.

Poltava and Rivne regions: drone debris damaged a house in the Reshetylivka community of the Poltava region on November 1, injuring a child of about 14, regional head Vitalii Diakivnych said, and a Russian attack set fire to a house in the Ostroh district of the Rivne region, injuring four people, the State Emergency Service said, Ukrainska Pravda reported.

Ternopil region: an attack on infrastructure in a town cut power to nearby localities, Governor Taras Pastukh said, Reuters reported on November 1.

SOURCING NOTE: the town was not named.

Nationwide, Russian claims: Russia's defence ministry said its drones struck port infrastructure used by Ukraine's armed forces, vessels carrying military cargo and a shelter and storage site for Neptune anti-ship missile launchers near Tuzly in the Odesa region, Vedomosti reported on November 2. Vedomosti also carried the ministry's November 1 claim of strikes on traffic-control facilities at Konotop railway station and a bulk carrier 69 km south-west of Odesa.

SOURCING NOTE: defence ministry claims; no Ukrainian confirmation was found. The November 1 edition carried the Konotop claim as relayed by a monitoring account; it is now matched to Vedomosti's report of the ministry statement.

Data centres, telecoms, media and R&D

Vinnytsia: a mobile phone mast was damaged in the Russian attack on the city overnight on October 31-November 1, Ukrainska Pravda reported.

SOURCING NOTE: the operator was not named and the extent of the damage was not given.

Nationwide: the Air Alert app, made with the Digital Transformation Ministry and the security company Ajax Systems, was being restored from about 02:00 on November 2 with the display of targets temporarily suspended, the app's developers said, after the false alerts described above, the Kyiv Independent reported. The developers said the app stores no personal data.

Weapons and technology

Ukraine: Zelenskiy said he would ask individual partners to lend Ukraine 10 to 30 air defence missiles from their stocks, to be returned from the US package of 500 Patriot interceptors "with some interest, or perhaps without interest", because deliveries under that package would take years, he told journalists in Istanbul on October 31, the Kyiv Post reported.

SOURCING NOTE: an RFE/RL correspondent, citing unnamed sources, said the missiles are newly built and deliveries are not expected until after 2030; not confirmed by US officials.

Ukraine: the Defence Ministry, the Digital Transformation Ministry and the Brave1 defence technology cluster launched grant competitions for guided air-to-air missiles and radars on October 30, the ministry said. Defence Minister Yevhenii Khmara named ballistic missiles, cheap cruise missiles, high-speed drones and guided aerial bombs as the main threats.

SOURCING NOTE: grant sizes circulating in reports were not on the ministry's announcement and are not printed. Ministry announcement: https://mod.gov.ua/en/news/brave1-grants-for-air-to-air-missiles-and-ukrainian-radars

Ukraine: drone maker ZRK.tech said an upgraded ZIRKA interceptor destroyed a jet-powered Geran-5 at about 400 km an hour and 3,500 metres, Militarnyi reported on November 1.

SOURCING NOTE: a manufacturer's claim with no independent confirmation; the report did not make clear whether the speed was the interceptor's or the target's.

Europe: Destinus said it had raised output of Ruta cruise missiles to nearly 300 a month and built more than 1,750 Ruta Block 1 missiles, Ukrainska Pravda reported on October 30. The company said it was producing a larger Block 2 able to carry a warhead of up to 250 kg more than 700 km, and developing a Block 3 with Rheinmetall for a range of about 2,000 km.

SOURCING NOTE: company figures, not independently verified.

Arson and sabotage in the EU and the UK

Sweden: border police boarded a dry cargo ship more than 80 metres long off the north-west coast of Gotland overnight into October 31 in what a Stockholm police spokesperson called a routine border check that raised no remarks on travel documents, Euromaidan Press reported. The ship had a Russian crew and its owner, which has an office in Kaliningrad, is under investigation over suspected Russian hybrid and reconnaissance operations, TV4 reported, citing unnamed sources.

Jersey: drone sightings closed Jersey Airport's runway on the nights of October 30 and 31, diverting and cancelling flights, and the States of Jersey Police are investigating, ITV reported. Chief Minister Lyndon Farnham said the government was treating it "with the utmost seriousness".

UK: no new arrest, charge or arson attack linked to Russia was found for November 1-2 at the time of writing.

Tit for tat

Ukraine's drones were reported to have set fire to an oil pumping station in the Samara region about 835 km from the border, and Zelenskiy said Russian air defence systems worth about $70mn were hit along with the Kamensky propellant plant.

Russia answered with 326 drones and six Banderol missiles by day and 193 drones overnight, hitting power grids in four regions and killing a girl beside a school dormitory in Vinnytsia, as a hack of Ukraine's air raid app sent false nuclear alerts.
