Russian strikes are aimed at military and infrastructure facilities in Ukraine. The Russians are plotting a route and reconnaissance of Ukrainian air defense systems.
The speaker of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Yuriy Ignat, stated this on the air of the Unified News telethon.
— The enemy pursues different goals. Don't think that this is just reconnaissance in force. These are targeted attacks. Even if there are fewer drones than usual, these are still targeted attacks on certain military or infrastructure targets. This time they decided to launch fewer (drones, — ED.). But this does not mean that you should not expect (attacks, — ED.) during the day, — he said.
Ignat noted that the occupiers are launching a small number of drones, laying paths to see what air defense systems Ukraine has and whether they are working.

— Today is a relatively small attack after all. But it is still accompanied by an air raid signal, — the speaker added.
According to him, there is also information that the Russian Federation also used a ballistic missile in one of the directions. Now it is being clarified what happened to it.
On the night of October 2, the Russian occupiers attacked Ukraine with seven Shahed-type attack UAVs. Air defense forces destroyed four drones.
