Besides stepping up operations on the front, Kiev forces also continued to conduct attacks on Russian territory.

Kiev forces launched a barrage of 220mm BM-27 Uragan rockets into Russia's Belgorod region early on September 30. However, according to the Russian Defense Ministry , all missiles were intercepted by air defenses.

“On the night of September 30, at 3:45 a.m. (Moscow time), an attempt by the Kiev authorities to launch an attack on targets in the Russian Federation with nine missiles was thwarted. The air defense systems on duty successfully intercepted all nine missiles in the air,” the Russian Defense Ministry said.
