Ukraine Drones Strike Military Airfield Deep Inside Russia
By Reuters | 05 Jul, 2025
The strike appears to have destroyed a glide-bomb storage facility as well as some aircraft in the Voronezh region, according to early reports.
Ukraine has been skillful in using drone strikes to expose Russian strategic vulnerabilities.
Ukraine's special forces struck Russia's Borisoglebsk military airfield in the Voronezh region on Saturday, hitting a glide bomb store and a trainer aircraft, the Ukrainian military said in a statement on social media.
The military said that other aircraft were also likely hit, without giving details.
"This airfield is the home base of enemy Su-34, Su-35S and Su-30SM aircraft," the statement said.
The governor of Voronezh, Alexander Gusev, wrote on Telegram that more than 25 drones were destroyed over the region overnight. He said a power line was temporarily damaged, but made no mention of a military airfield.
