What I found is that the last two mining operations happened during the night of 19/20 of September and 4/5 October, respectively.

During the former mission, approx. 150 mines were dropped on the Southern bank of the Hungarian sector of the Danube, while on the latter mission about 58 mines were dropped on the Northern bank of the Hungarian sector of the Danube.
