  "account": "On 4 October, Ukrainian drones attacked the Khanskaya military airfield in the Republic of Adygea, Russia. The attack coincided with a fire near the base, which is known for training Russian military pilots and serving combat aviation. Neither side has disclosed the full extent of the damage sustained. Ukraine has been targeting various Russian military infrastructure, including airfields, refineries, and depots, in an effort to weaken Russia's war effort. The Khanskaya airfield, which was last used by the 761st Training Aviation Regiment until its disbandment in 2009, is home to the Krasnodar Higher Military Aviation School of Pilots. Russian authorities claimed to have repelled a Ukrainian drone attack on the airfield in December 2025.",
  "summary": "NASA fire data confirmed a blaze in the airfield's area, though the damage is still unknown.",
