A Ukrainian air defense unit, the DPSU 'Forpost' brigade, reported intercepting two Shahed drones, a ZALA reconnaissance drone, several Lancet loitering munitions, and a 'Koshchei' hexacopter. The unit stated these actions aim to close a channel used by Shahed drones entering the Kharkiv region to disperse across Ukraine.

The 'Koshchei' hexacopter is described as a more expensive analog to Ukraine's 'Vampire' drone, and three times easier to shoot down.
