The Russian Defense Ministry said between the evening of the 29th and early hours of the 30th Russian forces used land-, sea- and air-launched high‑precision long‑range weapons and attack drones to strike Ukrainian military airfields, defense industry sites and other targets. Moscow said its forces seized four settlements in Kharkiv, Sumy and Donetsk regions and continued strikes on Ukrainian ports and vessels serving the Ukrainian military. Ukraine's General Staff reported 238 engagements along the front in the past day, saying its air force, missile troops and artillery struck Russian forces and that Ukrainian units repelled multiple Russian assaults in the directions of Kupyansk and Pokrovsk.
