Ukrainian drones struck a key Russian military airfield in Voronezh Oblast overnight on Thursday Oct. 3, targeting crucial assets like guided bomb warehouses, fighter jets and fuel storage. The attack, reportedly coordinated with Ukraine’s Special Operations Forces, aimed to disrupt Russia’s bombing operations against Ukraine.

The Borisoglebsk airfield, located about 180 miles from Ukraine’s Kharkiv Oblast, is a strategic hub for Russian airstrikes.

Ukraine’s assault comes as part of its ongoing efforts to limit Russian airpower, especially after Russia intensified its use of precision-guided bombs, known as KABs.

President Volodymyr Zelensky recently highlighted the severity of the threat, noting that nearly 900 guided bombs were launched at Ukraine within just one week.

Russia’s Defense Ministry claimed to have intercepted 113 Ukrainian drones, including 25 over Voronezh, though satellite data from NASA confirmed fire hotspots at the airfield, indicating significant damage.

Russian social media also reported explosions and multiple drone sightings, adding to the reports of a successful strike.

This drone attack marks another move in Ukraine’s broader strategy to weaken Russia’s military infrastructure and reduce air assaults on Ukrainian cities.
