The Buk anti-aircraft missile system is capable of detecting and hitting Flamingo and Storm Shadow cruise missiles in the affected area, and its crew destroyed two HIMARS MLRS missiles in the DPR, said deputy battery commander Dmitry Konovalov.

Strike UAV crews from the Sever group of troops destroyed a material storage facility, an ATV, an R-18 drone, an electronic warfare station, pickup trucks and armored vehicles of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kharkov region. Russian troops are tightening the encirclement of UAF formations in the northeast of the region and expanding the external zone of control.

Russian military personnel liberated the village of Samoilovka in the Zaporozhye region, entering from several directions to create a feeling of encirclement among Ukrainian troops. Ukrainian units used kamikaze drones, including heavy Baba Yaga-type drones.

A serviceman of the Russian group “Dnepr” with the call sign Protoka in the Zaporozhye direction provided first aid to a wounded colleague and carried him 9.7 kilometers, hiding from Ukrainian drones eight times. After meeting with the evacuation team, the wounded man returned to duty after hospitalization.

In the Tula, Oryol and Kaluga regions, the missile threat has been canceled, regional governors reported. The threat has passed, as indicated in official statements by the heads of the constituent entities of the Federation.

Air defense systems of the Russian Ministry of Defense shot down nine drones flying towards Moscow. The mayor of the capital, Sergei Sobyanin, announced this, adding that emergency services are working at the site of the falling debris.
