It was reported by the Telegram channel for monitoring enemy aviation Monitor.
Also, the Operational AFU channel reports about the downing of an enemy aircraft in this direction.
Officially, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine did not confirm the shooting down of an enemy fighter, but the morning report of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine stated that on the Avdiivka axis the Ukrainian military repelled 45 attacks by the russian Armed Forces in areas of 10 settlements.
Su-25 is a Soviet-era subsonic attack aircraft designed to support ground forces as well as destroy objects. Such attack aircraft are equipped with aircraft guns, aerial bombs, unguided air-to-ground missiles and guided air-to-air missiles.
Recall, on May 4, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that in the sky over the Donetsk Region, Ukrainian air defense shot down an enemy Su-25. This was done by the soldiers of the 110th separate mechanized brigade.
On the night of Thursday, May 9, the army of the aggressor country of russia fired on the settlements of the Mykolaiv Region with artillery and Shahed strike drones.
On the night of May 8, the russian invaders carried out another massive missile attack on Ukraine using strategic Tu-95 bombers.

Ukraine’s special military operation to demilitarize RuSSia continues. 🤣
It would be suicidal to use Su-25 in their traditional role of close ground support now, so I guess the Russians use these planes now to deliver glide bombs, after huge losses to their Su-34 units. Tood to see that the AFU strikes back, but there really needs to be progress with the deliveries of Patriot batteries. After bold announcements last month, there has been cricket. Why can’t Nato get this rather deliveries done? This shouldn’t be such a complicated issue at all! 😠
