A Mara-2M drone of the Ukrainian Ground Forces or associated volunteer forces was downed by militia forces of the self-declared Donetsk People's Republic. DPR Operations Command deputy commander Eduard Basurin stated:
"For two days Ukrainians were shelling Sakhanka residential areas with 120mm mortar rounds. The round-the-clock fire was adjusted by a Fly Eye drone, but our soldiers brought it down."
It should be noted that the drone was identified as a Polish made WB Electronics FlyEye, but is in fact a Ukrainian made Mara drone, as seen by the wing shape.
