The Ukrainian army announced that it had intercepted all 16 missiles intensively launched by Russian troops on the 18th. Noting that it included six missiles that Russia claims to be hypersonic missiles, Defense Minister Reznikov expressed confidence that weapons provided by the West could counter them.

The Russian Ministry of Defense announced on the 6th that the "Kinzhal" hit the surface-to-air missile system "Patriot" deployed in Kyiv, but a spokesman for the Ukrainian Air Force said "we will not comment, we will leave it alone"
