Ukraine attacks Russian bases at 4200 kilometers away

According to Ukrainian secret service circles, Ukraine has carried out “large-scale” attacks at Russian airwaffen base far behind the Ukrainian border to Baltic Siberia. The aim of the mission is “the destruction of enemy fighter bombers,” it said from circles of the Ukrainian secret service SBU. More than 40 aircraft were hit.

Accordingly, the attacks were directed against the Russian military base in Belaya in Eastern Siberia, which is around 4200 kilometers from the Ukrainian border in the Irkutsk region. The aim of the attacks was also the information on the Air Force base in Djagilewo, Iwanowo and in Olenia in the Murmansk region in the Russian Arctic. This region is around 1900 kilometers from Ukraine.

According to the information, the attacked aircraft had been used “to bomb Ukrainian cities every night”. A fire broke out at the base in Belaya, continued to from the SBU circles. A video was transmitted to show the air force base in Belaya, and in which several burning aircraft and black columns of smoke can be seen. The information could initially not be checked independently.

The governor of the Irkutsk region, Igor Kobzew, announced a “drone attack” on the village of Srednij, which is right next to the military base of Belaya. “This is the first attack of this kind in Siberia,” he said. He called on the population not to fall into “panic”. A drone in the sky can be seen on a video that the governor published and was apparently shot by residents and a large, gray cloud of smoke in the background.

The governor of the Murmansk region, Andrej Tschibis, confirmed that “enemy drones” were in the sky and that air defense is working.

Russia announces almost daily to have shot Ukrainian drones over its area. However, it is very rare that they attack so far inside.
