Ukrainian strike devastates Russian airbase in Rostov oblast
Ukrainians attacked the Russian Morozovsk airbase in Rostov Oblast during the night from Friday to Saturday. The latest satellite images confirm the complete destruction of the military facility.
The Ukrainian Army struck the Russian military airport and ammunition depots in Morozovsk, Rostov Oblast, as well as several fuel storage facilities in the aggressor's country. At least two of these facilities caught fire, the General Staff in Kyiv reported on Saturday.
"Information about the destruction of air defence systems and enemy aircraft is being collected. The forces carried out the task and means of the Security Service of Ukraine and Ukrainian Military Intelligence in cooperation with the Armed Forces of Ukraine," the staff stated on Telegram.
The destruction of the base is highly valuable for the Ukrainians. It is home to the 559th Bomber Aviation Regiment, equipped with Su-34 aircraft. Due to their missions, these machines are among the most valuable assets for the Russians.
