Ukraine has carried out what is being described as its largest attack on Russian airfields since the conflict began, with drones targeting four Russian airfields overnight. A source at the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) revealed this information on Wednesday.
The attack was reportedly a coordinated effort involving various branches of Ukraine's defense, including the SBU, Air Force, and Special Forces. The targeted airfields were located in the Russian cities of Voronezh, Kursk, Savasleyka, and Borisoglebsk.
Prior to this drone attack, the Ukrainian Air Force successfully destroyed a Russian Su-34 fighter jet in the Kursk region. This action was confirmed in a statement released by the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
The escalation of hostilities between Ukraine and Russia has raised concerns internationally, with many countries calling for a peaceful resolution to the conflict. The use of drones in this recent attack marks a significant development in the ongoing conflict, showcasing Ukraine's capabilities in unconventional warfare tactics.
As the situation continues to evolve, the international community is closely monitoring the developments in the region and urging both sides to exercise restraint to prevent further escalation of violence.
