A Ukrainian Baba Yaga bomber drone was downed by Russian forces. The drone was downed at night with small arms fire and the use of thermal based night vision. A video published by Russian sources shows the drone manoeuvring to avoid small arms fire before bursting into flames upon being hit, presumably due to a hit to the vehicles lithium battery. Secondary explosions can be seen after the UAV hits the ground, likely to be the explosive payload of the bomber.
