'At least six Russian warplanes destroyed, eight damaged and 20 personnel wounded or killed' as Ukraine stages major drone strike on Putin's airfields
• Ukraine fired more than 50 drones at Russian territory, Russia's MoD saidBy Chris Jewers and Will Stewart | April 5, 2024
• If confirmed, the scale of the damage to Russian warplanes would represent one of the biggest blows of the two-year war to Vladimir Putin's air force
Ukraine has destroyed at least six Russian warplanes, damaged eight more and wounded or killed 20 personnel in a major overnight drone attack on Vladimir Putin's airfields, Kyiv said on Friday.
Launching one of its largest overnight attacks in weeks, Ukraine fired more than 50 drones at Russian territory, according to Russia's defence ministry.
Among the targets was the Engels-2 base in in the southern Rostov region, home to Putin's prized Tu-95 and Tu-22 nuclear bombers.
More than 60 explosions were heard in the Rostov region as Russian air defences fended off an attack on Morozovsk military airfield, scene of the heaviest assault.
A video showed a woman's shock at the moment an electricity power station was hit.
There were more than ten explosions in Yeisk, Krasnodar region, reported local Telegram channels - also the location of a military airfield.
A security source in Kyiv told France's AFP news agency that an attack on the Morozovsk air base in Russia's southern Rostov region had destroyed at least six Russian planes and 'another eight were heavily damaged'.
'This is an important special operation that will significantly reduce the combat potential of the Russians,' the source said, adding that the attack was carried out by the SBU security service and the military.
Some 20 Russian personnel were killed or wounded, it was alleged.
