A Russian Su-34 was shot down by what is believed to be a Ukrainian F-16, with the crew killed. The plane was shot down during a FAB bomb drop with an UMPK glide bomb kit approximately 50 km from the front line.

The Russian milblogger FighterBomber confirmed the aircraft was lost in operations but said claims an F-16 shot it down are groundless because Ukraine keeps F-16s far from the front line.

Kyiv Post analysis found a long-range missile shot from Ukrainian airspace was technically possible but would have been far riskier than known F-16 engagements.

Russian forces achieved positional gains near four villages in Donetsk Oblast.
