Relatives, colleagues and friends of two Ukrainian 43-year-old journalists Olena Hubanova, who worked under the pseudonym Alyona Gramova, and cameraman Yevhen Karmazin, who were killed on October 23, 2025, when a Russian Lancet drone hit their vehicle in Ukraine’s Kramatorsk around 20 km from the front line, mourn over their coffins during a funeral service at St. Michael Monastery in Kyiv, Ukraine, on Oct. 27, 2025.

Russia’s Defence Ministry said Monday (October 27, 2025) it had downed 193 Ukrainian drones overnight, with local authorities reporting one person killed in the attack.
“During the past night, air defense systems intercepted and destroyed 193 Ukrainian fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles,” the ministry wrote on Telegram.
The governor of the border region of Bryansk, Aleksandr Bogomaz, said on Telegram that a minibus had been struck in the village of Pogar, killing the driver and injuring five passengers.
Russian forces in total downed 47 drones in Bryansk, which borders Ukraine, as well as 40 in the Moscow region, with most of those headed towards the capital, according to the defence ministry.
Russia has kept up a near-constant barrage of drone and missile attacks — particularly on Ukraine’s energy networks — as it grinds on with the full-scale invasion it launched in February 2022.
Ukraine has increasingly responded with its own strikes targeting Russian oil refineries and other energy infrastructure.
