Major Drone Attacks Cripple Russian Airfields

Drone Strikes Rock Russian Airfields: Ukraine Claims Major Success Multiple drone attacks targeted Russian military air bases in Murmansk, Ryazan, and Irkutsk regions early this morning, resulting in significant damage to military aircraft. Footage circulating on social media, attributed to the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), shows burning planes and extensive smoke plumes at various locations. One video, posted on TikTok by BBC News Ukrainian, shows a series of clips of the destruction, with text overlays claiming that over 40 aircraft were damaged. "The operation, which we have named 'Pavutina' (Spiderweb), has significantly disrupted Russian air operations," a source close to the SBU reportedly told BBC News Ukrainian. This claim, however, requires further verification from independent sources. The attacks come amid ongoing tensions between Russia and Ukraine, and may be seen as a response to recent Russian strikes on Ukrainian cities. The extent of the damage is still being assessed, but initial reports suggest substantial losses for the Russian military. The incident highlights the increasing use of drones in modern warfare and the vulnerability of military air bases to such attacks. Further investigations are underway to confirm the full details of the events and their impact.
