A dramatic video on Thursday depicted a Ukrainian drone attack on a military airfield in southern Russia, as Kyiv continues to launch strikes deep inside Russian territory. The video shows explosions and fires at the Marinovka air base in Russia, with satellite imagery showing damage to the facility. Russian officials confirmed the attack and said that 13 UAVs were shot down in various regions of Russia. Ukraine also carried out a drone attack on a major oil depot in Proletarsk, causing a blaze that has been burning for five days. The attack on the capital Moscow was described as the biggest of the war. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy visited the region from which the surprise Kursk attack was launched, as Ukraine intensifies its cross-border operations. Tens of thousands of residents have been displaced, with concrete shelters being set up at bus stops in Kursk. The incursion into Russia has seen strategic bridges damaged, villages taken over, and POWs captured, while the Kremlin struggles to repel the attacks. Overall, Ukraine’s actions represent a significant escalation of the conflict, as it aims to limit Russian aviation capabilities and gain the upper hand in the ongoing war.
