Ukraine Targets Russian Bombers in Massive Drone Strike on Siberian Airbases

Russia-Ukraine war

Ukraine has launched a large-scale drone attack on four Russian military airbases deep in Siberia, reportedly damaging more than 40 strategic bombers in a bold escalation of the conflict just hours before scheduled peace talks.

Ukrainian security officials confirmed that the overnight drone strikes targeted long-range bombers at airfields in Siberia, far from the frontlines. The operation reportedly involved drones that were covertly transported near the airfields and hidden in the roofs of wooden sheds before being launched.

The attack comes on the eve of internationally monitored peace negotiations, marking a significant intensification in Ukraine’s cross-border military operations. While Kyiv has not officially commented, video footage circulating online shows multiple Russian aircraft in flames, suggesting serious damage to Moscow’s air capabilities.

As tensions mounted, Russian authorities also reported two separate train derailments, which they attributed to sabotage. The incidents resulted in at least seven fatalities, further adding to the atmosphere of instability across the country.

In response to the strikes, Russia reportedly launched multiple drone attacks on Ukrainian targets overnight. Ukrainian air defense units claimed to have intercepted several drones, but infrastructure damage was reported in multiple regions.

The unprecedented reach of Ukraine’s drone capabilities—striking thousands of kilometers inside Russian territory—signals a significant shift in military strategy. International observers are closely watching how this escalation might influence upcoming peace negotiations, which aim to de-escalate the nearly three-year-long war.
