Ukraine launched a major drone attack on four Russian military airfields deep inside Russian territory, targeting fuel and weapons storage facilities. The Ukrainian military claims this was their largest long-range drone strike of the war, with President Zelenskiy praising the operation as “timely” and “accurate.” While Russia reported intercepting numerous drones, satellite imagery confirmed damage to at least two air bases. This attack coincides with Ukraine’s ongoing ground incursion into Russia’s Kursk region, potentially aiming to disrupt Russian air capabilities.
