Drone attack struck an airfield where warplanes were parked up ready for action.
Another eight aircraft were damaged in the attack at the military installation near Morozovsk in Russia ’s Rostov region bordering Ukraine , officials told thelate Thursday that local air defenses were “repelling a massive UAV attack,” later claiming that eight people were injured near the airfield “as a result of the detonation of an explosive device on one of the fallen UAVs.”
Ukrainian intelligence officials, on the other hand, told the AP that around 20 members of personnel at the airfield had been killed or injured. They said that the operation had been carried out by Ukraine’s Security Service in conjunction with its army. If the Ukrainian reports are accurate, the operation would rank among Kyiv’s most successful cross-border strikes since the war began in Feb. 2022. Ukraine claimed to have destroyed nine Russian helicopters with U.S.-supplied long-range missiles in an attack targeting two airfields last October. That operation came two months afterthat its air defenses had destroyed 44 drones in Rostov. It said much smaller numbers of drones had also been brought down in Saratov, Kursk, Belgorod, and Krasnodar.
