Ukraine Claims One of Its Biggest Attacks Inside Russia Just Destroyed Six Bombers

Ukraine is claiming to have destroyed at least six warplanes at an airfield in Russia in a major drone attack Friday.

Another eight aircraft were damaged in the attack at the military installation near Morozovsk in Russia’s Rostov region bordering Ukraine, officials told the Associated Press. Regional Gov. Vasily Golubev warned late 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.”

Golubev’s posts about the attack made no mention about aircraft being destroyed or damaged, only that a substation had sustained “minor damage” leaving about 600 locals without power in the morning. Windows in an apartment building were broken, he added, and some other minor damage was incurred at a private farmstead.
