Aircraft, anti-aircraft missile units, electronic warfare assets and mobile fire groups of the Ukrainian Defense Forces were involved in repelling the enemy's aerial attack.

The Ukrainian forces shot down 29 aerial targets: four Kh-101 cruise missiles; three Iskander-K cruise missiles; 22 Shahed-131/136 combat drones.

Six attack drones disappeared from the radar (presumably jammed by EW), while one flew to Belarus.
