Kyiv 'continues to effectively target military and infrastructure facilities behind enemy lines,' a Ukrainian source told domestic media after weekend strikes.
Ukrainian strikes on a Russian military airfield over the weekend will likely force Russia to scatter fighter jets and move air defense systems, according to a new assessment, as Kyiv contends with Moscow's lethal jet-launched glide bombs.On April 27, Ukraine's SBU security service orchestrated attacks on a Russian military airfield and two oil refineries located in the southern Russian region of Krasnodar, frequently used to launch strikes on Ukraine, several outlets reported.
The Kushchevskaya airfield hosts Su-34 and Su-35 aircraft, the British Defense Ministry said on Tuesday. Footage widely circulated online appeared to show the destruction of glide bomb kits at the site.'Russian fighters, from Kushchevskaya and a number of other air bases, typically conduct 100 to 150 sorties per day, a significant percentage of those launching munitions all along the frontlines as Russia attempts to force breakthroughs through sheer firepower,' the U.K. government said.
