Russia has launched a wave of cruise missiles at hydroelectric dams and other critical infrastructure across Ukraine, with explosions reported near the capital, Kyiv, and in at least 10 other cities and regions.
Ukraine’s air command said it shot down 44 out of 50 enemy rockets. Video footage suggested that several missiles were intercepted in the skies around Kyiv, soon after 8am local time. Air raid sirens went off nationally, with citizens told to seek shelter.
#Ukraine: A bad day for Mi-8 of both sides in the East- a Russian Mi-8 helicopter was shot down by the 54th Separate Mechanized Brigade in the vicinity of Berestove, #Donetsk Oblast, apparently using a MANPADS. pic.twitter.com/d66giwq7eK

Ouchy!
Watch until end!
Those Russian troops somewhere in Kherson Oblast in this footage got under Ukrainian artillery fire and frantically tried to escape. The end of the video shows how this concluded. #Ukraine #Kherson pic.twitter.com/UpLxWYZ7ar— (((Tendar))) (@Tendar) October 30, 2022
