Six Iskander-M ballistic missiles and S-400 guided missiles were among the weaponry deployed, alongside 151 Shahed, Gerbera, and Italmas attack drones, along with Parodiya decoys. Ukrainian air defenses successfully shot down 135 of the Russian drones across the nation's northern, southern, and eastern regions. Missile strikes and hits by 13 attack drones were recorded at 12 different locations, while seven other sites were struck by downed targets and debris.
