Ukrainian drones struck the Khanskaya military airfield in Russia's Adygea region early Sunday morning, resulting in a significant fire at the facility. The attack, which began shortly after 1:00 a.m. local time, targeted the airfield that serves as a logistics and refueling hub for Russian Aerospace Forces' tactical aviation units.
The fire was confirmed through geolocation footage and thermal anomalies detected by NASA's Fire Information for Resource Management System (FIRMS). This marks the second consecutive long-range drone strike against major Russian aviation and launch infrastructure within a 24-hour period, following an earlier attack on the Tsymbulovo droneport in Oryol region on Saturday morning.
