Russian media report that drones attacked several targets in Russia last night writes former Ukrainian Interior Ministry advisor Anton Gerashchenko. The targets, most likely attacked by Ukrainian services, were places important to the Russian army. Recordings of burning objects have already appeared online.

According to reports, the following were attacked: the military airport in Morozovsk, facilities supplying the Russian army with oil products in the Rostov region, an ammunition depot in the Oryol region, and an oil depot in the Belgorod region.

The most spectacular was the attack on the airport in Morozovsk. A huge pillar of fire rose above the buildings, likely due to jet fuel tanks catching fire. There was also information that the fire reached an ammunition depot.

All the targets of the night attack are located several hundred kilometres from Ukraine's borders. The drones covered that distance undetected by Russian air defences.
