Shortly after being given a vector to intercept the localizer inbound on the ILS 18L into CVG; I saw a drone pass under our left wing (estimated around 100 ft. of clearance). Immediately after seeing the drone I reported the sighting to ATC (Cincinnati Approach Control). No evasive maneuvers were needed; nor any deviations from ATC instruction were needed.
Airline Captain reported a NMAC with a UAV while on a heading to intercept the localizer to final.
