The attack occurred in the airport, where the Shahed drone warehouse is located. Andriy Kovalenko, head of the Center for Counteracting Disinformation at the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, confirmed this information. Videos from the scene show a large fire accompanied by plumes of smoke.
Recordings on Telegram depict the fire and smoke over the city, with the sound of approaching drones audible in the background.
This is not the only attack carried out by Ukrainian forces. During the same night, a refinery in Krasnodar Krai also became the target of Ukrainian drones. This marks another assault on Russian fuel facilities this year.
