Ukraine attacked a covert Russian airbase in the Moscow region overnight, destroying two strategic bombers and leaving one undamaged, according to The Zioneer. The operation targeted a base housing long-range strike aircraft deep inside Russian territory.
The Zioneer has tracked multiple Ukrainian strikes on Russian military infrastructure over the past months, including previous attacks on Moscow and its surroundings. This latest strike reportedly hit a secret base near Moscow believed to house strategic bombers—a core component of Russia's long-range strike capability. As of Friday evening, Ukrainian officials have not commented on the operation, and independent confirmation of the base's identity and the reported damage to two bombers remains pending. One bomber at the base is said to have been left intact, though its condition is unverified.
