In brief

Ukraine's Defence Ministry said drone strikes hit more than 41,000 Russian service members in October 2026, including nearly 24,000 killed. It called the monthly total a record for its eBaly programme.

Ukraine's Defence Ministry reported the figures on November 13, according to Novynarnia. The ministry said the number of confirmed hits on Russian military personnel rose by 26%, or 8,637, compared with September, exceeding the previous eBaly monthly record of 35,000 in March 2026.

The ministry said each hit was recorded on video in the DELTA combat system and verified by the Brave1 defence cluster. It reported the largest increases on the Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia and Luhansk fronts.

The ministry said it uses the records to assess combat performance, reinforce units, allocate additional drones and crews, and identify priority targets.
