On the 1447th day of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the Ukrainian Air Force released footage showing an F-16 pilot successfully shooting down a kamikaze drone using the aircraft's onboard cannon. This incident highlights the ongoing advancements in military cooperation and technology as Ukraine continues to confront aerial threats amidst the war.

In addition to the military developments, Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Energy Denys Shmyhal announced that over the past two weeks, Ukraine has received significant energy sector support from eleven foreign partners, including countries such as Switzerland, Denmark, Canada, and Germany. Shmyhal revealed that this robust international assistance has been crucial for Ukraine, especially as the country marked a record level of energy imports on February 8.

The attack resulted in damage to residential buildings, including a residential block and vehicles parked nearby.
