Moscow. A Ukrainian drone collided with the 38-storey Volga Sky residential complex in Saratov, Russia, which is the tallest building in the city. This caused a stir there. Apart from this, according to a Ukrainian official familiar with the matter, Ukraine claimed that it destroyed six Russian fighter bombers by attacking the Morovo air base on Friday morning, which is located about 350 kilometers from the frontline. At the same time, the Ukrainian army said on Monday that Russia has launched a massive missile and drone attack on Ukraine. At least seven explosions were heard in the capital Kiev amid a nationwide alert warning against Russian air strikes. The Russian Defense Ministry said on Telegram that Ukraine launched a major attack targeting Russia’s Rostov, Saratov, Kursk and Belgorod regions.
Russian defense forces claimed to have shot down at least 44 drones in the Rostov region. The air base where the attack was carried out is located in Rostov itself. Russia has not released any further details of the incident. However, these reports could not be independently confirmed. Rostov Governor Vasily Golubev said that the air defense department thwarted attacks on the base. Which is the base of the 59th Guards Bomber Aviation Regiment of the Russian Air Force. This base is used by Su-24, Su-24M and Su-34 bombers to attack Ukraine. While a Ukrainian official told Politico on condition of anonymity that the attack on Morozovsk airfield was carried out by the Security Service of Ukraine in conjunction with the army and defense forces. At least six fighter bombers were destroyed in this attack. He said that the other eight airplanes were significantly damaged and 20 Russian soldiers were killed.
Russia’s biggest attack in recent weeks
The Ukrainian Air Force said that 11 Russian TU-95 strategic bombers are currently in the air and have reported firing of several missiles. Several groups of Russian drones were moving towards the eastern, northern, southern and central regions of Ukraine. They also had several cruise and ballistic missiles. This Russian attack began around midnight and is still ongoing. This appears to be Russia’s biggest attack against Ukraine in the last few weeks. Governors of the southern areas of Odessa and Zaporizhzhia and the northern areas of Kharkiv have confirmed explosions in their areas. In a message on Telegram, they urged people to take refuge in shelter homes.
