Satellite imagery confirms a Ukrainian drone attack on a Russian air base in eastern Siberia, resulting in the destruction of at least seven bombers. The attack, claimed by Ukraine as part of an 18-month planned operation, targeted the Belaya Air Base, damaging Tu-95 and Tu-22M bombers crucial to Russia's long-range strike capabilities. While Ukraine claims far greater damage, Russia acknowledges some damage but downplays the extent of the losses. The incident represents a significant symbolic and potential strategic blow to Russia's military capabilities.
