Russia claims to have destroyed a MiG-29 fighter jet at Dolgintsovo airfield in Donetsk, Ukraine, using an Iskander missile. Drone footage allegedly shows the strike's impact. This attack is part of a series targeting Ukrainian airfields, including earlier strikes in Poltava that reportedly damaged SU-27 jets and an MI-24 helicopter. Russia says the explosions also destroyed nearby weapons and vehicles. While Russia provides video evidence, independent confirmation is pending.

Russian forces reportedly destroyed nine Ukrainian fighter jets in 24 hours, including strikes on Mirgorod airfield. They claim to have intercepted Western-made missiles and numerous drones. The attacks, involving Iskander-M missiles, damaged or destroyed several Su-27 and MiG-29 aircraft. Russia also reports intercepting Storm Shadow missiles and downing a Bayraktar TB2 drone. These losses are significant for Ukraine's air force, prompting Kyiv to request F-16 jets from Western allies to counter Russia's air superiority and potentially strike deep into Russian territory.
