Ukraine's strike obliterates key russian Su‑34 air base in Rostov

Ukrainians attacked the Russian Morozovsk air base in the Rostov region overnight from Friday to Saturday. The latest satellite images confirm the complete destruction of the military facility.

The Ukrainian army struck the Russian military airfield and ammunition depots in Morozovsk in the Rostov region, as well as several fuel storage sites in the aggressor's country. Fires broke out in at least two of these locations, the General Staff in Kyiv reported on Saturday.

"Information is being collected about destroying air defense systems and enemy aircraft. The task was carried out by the forces and resources of the Security Service of Ukraine and the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine in cooperation with the Armed Forces of Ukraine," the staff stated on Telegram.

The destruction of the base is very valuable for Ukrainians. The 559th Bomber Aviation Regiment is stationed there, equipped with Su-34 aircraft. Due to their missions, these machines are among the most valuable for Russians.

Radio Svoboda published satellite images showing the effects of the attack on Sunday. The photographs show the complete destruction of the depots and the parking areas where the Russian Su-34s were located.

Recordings of the attack also appeared online. They show a powerful explosion, accompanied by secondary explosions, indicating a hit on ammunition depots.
