According to Ukrainian military officials, the Shahed-136 drone was directed away from a populated area before being neutralized to ensure civilian safety.

The mission involved two Mi-8 helicopters, each assigned a specific role. One was designated as a targeting platform, while the other executed the strike. The targeting helicopter was equipped with an electro-optical system featuring FLIR (Forward-Looking Infrared) technology, enabling precise navigation and coordination throughout the operation.
