“Drones were fired at six Russian regions, damaging military planes at an airport.”

In what appeared to be one of the largest-scale drone attacks on Russia in months, military transport planes were damaged near the country’s border with Estonia, a Russian regional official said early Wednesday. In Ukraine, officials said the same morning that at least two people had been killed in attacks in Kyiv.

Russian officials said drone attacks had targeted six regions in the west and southwest of the country. An attack on the airport in Pskov, 30 miles from the border, damaged four Il-76 military cargo aircraft, engulfing two of them in flames, a regional governor in Russia said in a statement. Russia’s defense ministry said at least eight Ukrainian drones had been intercepted over at least five other regions of the country but did not address the event in Pskov.

No injuries were reported in the widespread attacks, which were not independently verified.”

“According to Russian sources, 4 Il-76 heavy cargo aircraft were “damaged”- one can be seen burning fiercely in this footage.”
