Ukraine on Sunday launched a massive drone attack on Russia, in what is being called one of Kyiv’s largest operations to date.
According to the confirmation of the attack by the Russian governor of the Irkutsk region, Ukraine targeted a military unit in the village of Sridni in the first such attack in Siberia.
The former press secretary of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy took to X and shared a small clip of the attack and claimed that Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU) has carried out a large-scale drone strike, reportedly damaging over 40 Russian military aircraft.
She also mentioned that the attack is said to have targeted high-value planes, including A-50 early warning aircraft, Tu-95 strategic bombers, and Tu-22M3 long-range bombers.
The estimated cost of the damage exceeds USD 2 billion, making it one of the most expensive single attacks on Russia’s air assets since the war began, she said on X.
