Ukraine said its forces struck the Borisoglebsk military airfield in Russia’s Voronezh region overnight on October 15, destroying four Su-34 fighter-bombers and damaging two more.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced the aircraft losses, according to headlines from Ukrinform and Ukrainska Pravda. An account published by ua-stena.info, citing the Ukrainian Navy, said Ukrainian-made Neptune missiles were used in the attack and reported a large fire and repeated explosions at the airfield.
The affected Su-34s are multirole combat aircraft used by Russia to launch guided bombs and missiles against Ukrainian positions and communities near the front line. The condition of the two aircraft reported as hit, damage to airfield infrastructure and any casualties among Russian personnel were not established.
Some reports, including headlines from The Moscow Times and ua-stena.info, described all six aircraft as destroyed, while the Ukrainian reports attributed to Zelenskyy said four were destroyed and two were hit. Satellite imagery was reported by UNITED24 Media to show damage after the strike.
