The interceptions were carried out between 20:00 and 08:00 Moscow time using Russian air defense systems. Moscow has not yet specified which targets the UAVs were attempting to strike or whether any damage was caused by the attack.
At the same time, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported additional activity in the Kakhovka area of the Kherson region, claiming that Ukrainian reconnaissance and attack UAVs attempted to conduct aerial intelligence gathering along the front line before moving to attack Russian forces.
According to Russian officials, FPV interceptor drones were also deployed to counter the threat. During the operation near Kherson, Moscow claims that more than ten UAVs were destroyed, including a "Maya" decoy drone designed to divert air defense systems, as well as "Hornet"-type attack drones.
