This is the best summary I could come up with:
Air force commander Mykola Oleshchuk said mock-ups were put in place at an airfield near the central Ukrainian city of Kryvyi Rih and a district of the Black Sea port of Odesa.
Russia’s defence ministry had shared similar footage on Thursday on its Telegram channel and said it had used Iskender missiles to destroy a Ukrainian Mig-29 fighter jet at the Dovhyntseve airfield.
Mr Oleshchuk wrote: "Air force personnel conducted passive defence measures!
Ukraine’s Energy Ministry said infrastructure had been damaged in the attacks, and the strikes had also cut off water to the provincial capital by hitting power lines that feed its system of pumps.
In the eastern Donetsk region, Russian shelling on Friday and overnight killed 11 civilians and injured 43, local governor Vadym Filashkin said.
Some of the deaths were reported in the town of Selydove and in Chasiv Yar, which has been reduced to rubble following a months-long Russian assault.
