Police in the British capital reported 325 arrests of participants in an action near the US embassy. The Supreme Court is preparing to review the decision to ban the organisation Palestine Action.
A significant part of the capital was left without electricity due to the introduction of emergency outages.
Following a drone attack on the Kstovsky refinery, fuel purchase limits for vehicles have been introduced in the region.
The State Emergency Service of Ukraine clarified that the drone hit the territory of a vocational college dormitory.
Yuriy Ignat explained that the enemy uses strike UAVs in small groups, making interception difficult for fighter jets, including F-16s.
Russian security services linked the US warning of a possible attack in the capital to a post by a minor on social media.
Russia called Poland's invitation to the G20 foreign ministers' meeting a breach of consensus rules, while the US supported Warsaw's bid for full membership.
The State Fish Agency announced the introduction of seasonal restrictions on fishing in wintering areas. Offenders face fines or criminal liability.
In October, Kharkiv suffered the highest number of enemy attacks since the beginning of the year. According to Mayor Ihor Terekhov, the city withstood 153 strikes, averaging five attacks per day.
Russian terror claimed the lives of 22 people. A further 287 were injured, including 17 children among the victims.
“There is no safe corner left, no one of the city’s nine districts that has not been hit,” Terekhov noted.
The enemy used various types of weaponry. Reactive drones “Shahed” were used most frequently – 54 attacks. Flights of “Banderol” (25 strikes) and FPV drones (24) were also recorded. Strikes were delivered by regular “Shaheds”, “Molniya” drones, drones of unidentified type, aviation bombs (including FAB-250 and KAB), “Tornado-S” multiple launch rocket systems, and an “Iskander-M” ballistic missile.
“They struck both day and night. Very often they targeted the same locations – returning with repeat strikes to places where our services were just clearing rubble and rescuing people after previous impacts,” the mayor said.
Critical and civilian infrastructure came under the focus of attacks. The Russians deliberately destroyed railway infrastructure to paralyse logistics. With the onset of cold weather, strikes on the energy sector resumed: the enemy targeted facilities in the city and the region that determine the supply of electricity and heat to Kharkiv.
The mayor added that the enemy is methodically destroying businesses. “In October, we finally lost the last 'Epitsentr' that was still operating in the city. At the end of the month, the 'Dafi' shopping centre was seriously hit,” he stated.
Production and warehouse facilities, sewing workshops, and service stations were destroyed. The circus, a private lyceum, and a city polyclinic were damaged by strikes, which hit during patient consultations.
The housing stock suffered extensive damage. Both private houses and high-rise buildings were damaged: apartments burned out, floors collapsed, and windows were blown out across entire streets by the shockwave.
In one month, 343 air raid alerts sounded in Kharkiv. In total, this amounted to 444 hours, or over 18 days of continuous threat. Thanks to the differentiated alert system, the alert in the city lasted almost 246 hours less than in the region (690 hours).
“This means the main thing: when the siren sounds in the city, the danger directly concerns Kharkiv. I strongly urge you: go to shelters, do not wait for the first explosion! Take care of yourselves and your loved ones!,” appealed Ihor Terekhov.
