700 guided aerial bombs detonate at Russia's Lipetsk-2 airfield hit by drones

At the Russian airfield "Lipetsk-2" hit by Ukrainian drones, warehouses containing more than 700 guided aerial bombs are detonated.

Informed sources told UNIAN correspondent about this. In particular, last night the Security Service of Ukraine in cooperation with the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the Special Operations Forces carried out an explosive strike on the Russian military airfield "Lipetsk-2".

According to sources, the airfield housed several dozen fighter jets, helicopters, and warehouses where more than 700 guided bombs were stored.

At the same time, after the Ukrainian drone strike, a powerful explosion occurred, which caused a chain detonation and a large-scale fire on a significant part of the airfield. Local authorities confirmed the fact of the detonation and announced the evacuation of residents of nearby settlements.

As sources note, most of the aircraft stationed at the Lipetsk-2 military airfield did not manage to take off.

"The Security Service of Ukraine, in cooperation with the Defense Forces, continues methodical work to destroy Russian aviation logistics so that the enemy does not have the opportunity to bomb Ukrainian cities with KABs. In early August, we cleared the Morozovsk airfield of KABs and fighters, and today it is Lipetsk-2's turn. We continue working," said an informed source in the Security Service of Ukraine.
