Drone strike hits Russian base linked to Sumy attacks
The Russian base in the city of Shuya in the Ivanovo region was attacked by drones, local media report. The target was the base of the Russian 112th Guards Rocket Brigade, which had been used to attack the Ukrainian city of Sumy.
According to residents, at least five powerful explosions and sounds of gunfire were heard in the city in the middle of the night.
The Shuya city administration reported a threat of drone attacks. Authorities urged city residents to remain indoors, not to approach windows, and to go down to the lower floors of buildings if possible.
The drone attack targeted the base of the Russian 112th Guards Rocket Brigade, from which Ukrainian Sumy was attacked on 13 April. Media reports suggest it was in retaliation for the Russians' bloody shelling, but the Ukrainian armed forces have not yet commented on the drone attack on the Ivanovo region.
