Russia to launch another massive air strike within days, Air Force warns

“The many reports about a possible mass attack are not unfounded because we have intelligence, information from partners, and our own reconnaissance,” Ihnat told Ukrainian TV broadcasters.

“We are recording the relocation of aviation assets and increased activity at airfields — the ones where drones have arrived before.”

Ignat said Russian forces periodically move aircraft to remote bases to protect them from possible attacks. He added that recent activity has also been observed at strategic aviation airfields, where planes are usually loaded with ordnance.

“It could happen at any time in the near future,” he added.

“At the same time, we cannot say exactly when the enemy will strike. If we knew it would be today, officials would announce it. But we must always be ready.”

In the early hours of May 12, after a three-day ceasefire on May 9–11, Russia attacked Ukraine with drones, hitting Kyiv Oblast, Kharkiv Oblast, Zhytomyr, Mykolaiv, and rail infrastructure in Dnipro.
