Ukrainian forces, using long-range drones, successfully attacked the Marinovka airbase in Russia's Volgograd region, destroying at least two Su-34 fighter-bombers. The airbase serves as a fallback for aircraft relocated from closer-to-the-front airbases like Morozovsk, which was previously targeted. The Su-34s, known for carrying highly destructive glide bombs, pose a significant threat to Ukraine. This attack is part of Ukraine's ongoing campaign to degrade Russian air power and counter the devastating effects of these glide bombs, which have been used extensively in attacks on Ukrainian cities.
