In Kyiv, debris from a downed Russian drone fell in the Darnytskyi district, causing damage. This was announced by Tymur Tkachenko, the head of the Kyiv City Military Administration, on Telegram, Ukrinform reports. During the nighttime drone attack, air defense units operated to intercept enemy targets, Tkachenko noted.

Ukraine has, for some time, fielded large "mothership" drones that can carry and eventually deploy a set of smaller attack drones. This approach can, for example, get light and fast FPV attack drones behind the front lines before releasing them, thereby extending the attack drones' limited range.
