Ukraine hit airfield with many Russian fighter jets on Russian territory – Strong fire occurred

The Russian city of Lipetsk was attacked by drones last night. Air defense forces were operating, informs Lipetsk governor Igor Artamonov.

The Russian official had announced the implementation of an "air danger regime" in the region.

Later, a threat of drone attacks on both the city of Lipetsk and the region was announced.

The governor complained of a "massive drone attack" and reported that air defense systems were in operation.

Meanwhile, a video allegedly showing the aerial attack appeared online. It was filmed in Lipetsk.

According to the Telegram channel Mash, there were "3 to 10" explosions and flashes in the sky over Lipetsk.

Russian state media traditionally claim that the air defense forces "repelled the attack."

Later, the local governor stated that there was a "detonation of explosive objects far from civilian buildings," and emergency services were working on the site.

According to him, as a result of the UAV fall, an "energy infrastructure facility was damaged," and there were "interruptions in power supply."

"Specialists have started recovery work. The threat of UAV attacks remains. Air defense systems and suppression measures are in operation," wrote the Lipetsk governor.

Additionally, Russian media report a fire at a military airfield in the Lipetsk region following a series of explosions due to the drone attack.
As a result of the kamikaze drone strike, there was an explosion and fire at the airfield where Su-27, Su-30, Su-34, Su-35S, MiG-29, Su-25, and Su-30SM aircraft were deployed. Four villages, some of them situated near an air force base, were being evacuated after a state of emergency was declared in the Lipetsk municipal district. Separately, the governor of the Russian-held city of Sevastopol in Crimea, Mikhail Razvozhayev, said on Telegram that Russian forces destroyed three drones and three drone boats near the city.

Russia's defence ministry said a total of 75 Ukrainian drones have been destroyed overnight over Russia, according to the RIA news agency, most of them over the Belgorod and Lipetsk regions.
