Ukraine has launched a significant drone attack on Russian military airbases, claiming to have targeted over 40 Russian bomber planes. This operation marks one of the boldest strikes by Ukraine since the conflict began.
Footage shared online appears to show Russian warplanes on the runway being hit and catching fire. Additional videos depict cargo crates ablaze on a truck near Belaya airbase and smoke billowing from Olenya airbase. Ukrainian sources from the Security Service, known as SBU, reported that "enemy strategic bombers are burning en masse in Russia."
The SBU stated that this operation is part of a larger mission aimed at crippling enemy bomber aircraft. This attack reflects Ukraine’s ongoing strategy to disrupt Russian military capabilities and assert its defense against the ongoing invasion.
As the situation develops, both sides are likely to respond, and the implications of this strike could influence the dynamics of the conflict.
