Ukraine's military intelligence chief says two planes were damaged and two destroyed in Tuesday's attack.
The drone attack on an airbase in the Russian city of Pskov on Tuesday was launched from inside Russia, Ukraine's military intelligence chief has said.
He said the drones targeted the tops of the aircraft - the location of the fuel tanks and a critical section of the wing spar.The damaged aircraft are long-range cargo planes, ideal for transporting troops and equipment over long distances and therefore valuable war assets for Russia. Unconfirmed reports say a factory making electronic parts for rockets in the town of Lyubertsy outside Moscow was hit.
