Ukrainian drones attack Russian airfield, target jets and ammo depot - NV sources
Ukrainian drones targeted the Borisoglebsk military airfield in Russia's Voronezh Oblast, which is regularly used by enemy forces to launch airstrikes with guided bombs on Ukrainian settlements, Security Service’s (SBU) sources told NV on Oct. 3.
The attack focused on ammunition depots with guided bombs, parking areas for SU-35 and SU-34 jets, and aviation fuel storage facilities.
Satellite monitoring recorded four fires at the airfield, while local social media reported air defense engagement on drones in the area and powerful explosions.
“The SBU continues to take active measures to reduce the enemy's ability to terrorize peaceful Ukrainian cities with fighter jets carrying guided bombs,” a source said.
“The demilitarization of Russian military airfields will continue, because the enemy should not feel safe even on its own territory.”
This follows an earlier report by the Baza Telegram channel that Russian aviation authorities had imposed flight restrictions at Kazan Airport in the Republic of Tatarstan in response to the threat of a possible drone attack.
Earlier in the day, the Russian Defense Ministry claimed an alleged “downing” of 113 drones over Belgorod (73), Voronezh (25), Kursk (14), and Bryansk (1) oblasts.
