Ukraine's drone strikes targeted Russian airfields in the Murmansk and Irkutsk regions, reportedly setting several aircraft ablaze. The strikes, claimed by Ukraine's SBU intelligence agency, caused an estimated $7 billion in damages, destroying over 40 Russian planes, including advanced strategic bombers. This escalation occurred while Ukraine's President announced upcoming peace negotiations in Istanbul, highlighting a complex dynamic in the ongoing conflict, further complicated by recent Russian missile attacks that resulted in casualties among Ukrainian soldiers.
In the Murmansk and Irkutsk regions, the launch of FPV drones from an area in close proximity to airfields resulted in several aircraft catching fire.
This is the estimated cost of the enemy's strategic aviation, which was hit today as a result of the SBU's special operation.
The attack comes on the same day Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said a delegation would travel to Istanbul for a fresh round of peace negotiations with Russia.
Ukraine's army said Russia's 'missile strike on the location of one of the training units' had killed a dozen soldiers, most of whom had been in shelters during the attack.
