In Vityazevo, Krasnodar region, the drones hit a Su-33 and a MiG-29 fighter jet, as well as an Orion drone. Other targets in the region included a Podlet radar in Pryhybskyi, a Kasta 2E2 radar in Shabelskoe, a Pantsir-S1 air defense system in Yeysk, and an S-400 position in Gelendzhik.

In the Rostov region, a Tor missile system in Pudovyi, a Nebo-U radar in Dolotinka, a Podlet radar in Holovativka, and a Kasta 2E2 radar in Latonove were hit. In Crimea, the drones targeted a Nebo-U radar in Sevastopol, a 36D6M radar in Uiutne, and an ST-68 radar in Yevpatoria.
