Ukraine says it destroyed a Russian military plane at a base in the Urals
Ukraine claims to have destroyed a Russian military transport plane over the weekend at a base in the Orenburg region, in the southern Urals, far from the border between the two countries.
This new attack, which was carried out during the night from Saturday to Sunday, is part of a context of strikes carried out by kyiv on Russian soil aimed at disrupting the logistics of Moscow’s forces which have tirelessly bombarded Ukraine since February 2022.
“The carcass of the enemy has burned: a Tu-134 military transport plane has been destroyed in Russia,” the Main Directorate of Ukrainian Military Intelligence, attached to the Ministry of Defense (GUR), said on Telegram.
According to this source, the plane in question was hit at the Russian military airfield of Orenburg-2, in the south of the Urals, approximately 1,000 kilometers from the border between Ukraine and Russia.
