Ukraine struck Russian warplanes at a base its fighter-bombers flee to when other airfields are in danger, intel says
Briefly

A Ukrainian drone strike on the Marinovka airbase in Russia's Volgograd region resulted in the destruction of two Su-34 fighter-bomber planes. The airbase serves as a fallback for planes moved from more vulnerable locations. Despite these efforts, British defense ministry reports indicate that Russian aircraft remain under threat. The attack was a coordinated operation by Ukraine's SBU and Special Operations Forces. The strike also caused a fire in maintenance areas, complicating operations for Russian forces.
