Details: The Air Force clarified that the launches were carried out from two directions: Primorsko-Akhtarsk and Kursk Oblast in Russia. Air defence systems were responding to the attack in at least six oblasts of Ukraine: Kyiv, Sumy, Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhzhia, Mykolaiv and Kirovohrad. A Kh-59 guided missile was also downed in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast.

Anti-aircraft missile units, tactical aircraft, mobile fire groups and electronic warfare units were involved in repelling the attack.
