Ukrainian fiber-optic FPV drones operated by the 59th Separate Assault Brigade destroyed a Russian Ka-52 attack helicopter near Nadiyivka in the Donetsk region.

Ukrainian Unmanned Systems Forces (USF) have reportedly destroyed a Russian Ka-52 attack helicopter in the Pokrovsk direction using the fiber-optic first-person view (FPV) drone.

The strike was carried out by fighters from the 59th Separate Assault Brigade of the USF.

The helicopter was "hunted down" with a fiber-optic FPV drone by pilots from the "Baltika" crew of the "Predators of Heights" battalion near the settlement of Nadiyivka in the Donetsk region.

In Donetsk Oblast, four people were injured in Russian attacks on the cities of Kramatorsk, Dobropillia, and Kostiantynivka, Governor Vadym Filashkin said.

Russian forces used a drone to strike a vehicle belonging to the Proliska humanitarian mission in Oleksiievo-Druzhkivka, killing one woman and injuring three people.

In the Donetsk region, operators of the 'Predators of the Heights' battalion of the 59th Separate Assault Brigade of the Unmanned Systems Forces destroyed a Ka-52 Alligator reconnaissance and attack helicopter using an FPV drone. This is already the second helicopter accounted for by the 59th Brigade.

The cost of such a helicopter is estimated at around $16 million.
