There was a simulated Kinzhal launch, and 2 Tu-95s performed a launch maneuver. According to a Ukrainian aviation tracking channel, the Tu-95 launch maneuver may have also been simulated.

It is unknown what happened to the other 4 Tu-95s.

The MiG-31K is returning to its base. The 6 Tu-95s continue their movement south in the direction of the Caspian region.

Even after the Shaheds struck Kyiv, ~30 still remain airborne.
