Russian forces attempted to simulate the capture of the village of Kolodyazhne in Kharkiv Oblast using a drone carrying a Russian flag. According to the 3rd Separate Heavy Mechanized Iron Brigade, the occupiers delivered the tricolor via drone, likely to film it and claim control over the village. Ukrainian forces destroyed the Russian flag and the drone with an FPV drone strike.

A brigade infantryman subsequently planted a Ukrainian flag in the village.
