Among them are 14 air-launched missiles, including two Kh-47M2 Kinzhal air-to-air missiles, which were fired from MiG-31K aircraft from the airspace of Tambov region, and 12 Kh-101/Kh-555 cruise missiles, which were launched from Tu-95MS from the airspace of Saratov region.

Air Force Commander Lieutenant General Mykola Oleshchuk announced the successful destruction of all Kh-101/Kh-555 cruise missiles launched by the enemy using air defence. In addition, the enemy used 31 Shahed drones for nighttime attacks, which came from three different areas: Primorsko-Akhtarsk and Yeysk in Russia, and Cape Chauda in the temporarily occupied Crimea.
