Ukrainian drones attacked the logistic supply route Korenevo-Snagot'-Vnezapnoe in Kursk Oblast between 6:07 AM and 7:05 AM UTC on October 2nd, 2025, destroying multiple vehicles and supplies. The strike reportedly hit two motorcyclists, two buggies with provisions, two loaves, an armored personnel carrier, a car, and four trucks, according to a social media report from Vijesti11111. Separately, Sky News reported on October 2nd, 2025, that Ukraine may launch a large-scale attack on Crimea by winter, potentially involving a naval landing or an assault on the Kerch Bridge. This assessment suggests that the loss of Crimea could be a significant blow to Russian President Vladimir Putin. Previous reports from October 2nd, 2025, indicated ongoing radar alerts in Saratov between 3:35 AM and 4:35 AM UTC, with the Радар ВРВ system detecting multiple persistent fixations and prompting public safety warnings. These alerts were similar to those issued earlier in the day and overnight. A Russian Mi-8 helicopter was also reported downed by an FPV drone on October 2nd, 2025, resulting in the deaths of six infantrymen, with the commander, navigator, and flight engineer also on board, though the navigator and flight engineer sustained injuries, according to Russian military aviation sources. These events occur amidst heightened international tensions. Earlier reports detailed U.S. President Donald J. Trump's directive for intelligence agencies to provide Ukraine with intelligence for long-range missile strikes inside Russia. Discussions about Western military aid and French warnings of imminent hostilities with Russia have also been noted.
