Results for: Air Strike

In a significant development, Ukraine reportedly carried out a successful attack on a Russian Su-57 stealth jet, Russia’s most advanced fighter aircraft. Satellite photos released by Ukraine’s military intelligence show evidence of the strike on an air base nearly 600 kilometers from the front lines. The attack, if confirmed, would mark Ukraine’s first known strike on this state-of-the-art jet. Additionally, there are indications that a second Su-57 may have been damaged, along with Russian personnel. The strike comes as the United States and Germany have authorized Ukraine to use long-range weapons to target locations inside Russian territory for defensive purposes. The incident highlights the expanding use of Ukrainian-made drones to strike deep within Russia and the ongoing intense battles along the front lines of the conflict.

Russian forces launched an air strike on the southern Ukrainian port city of Odesa in the early hours of Tuesday, injuring four children and causing damage to residential and commercial properties. The attack, which involved the use of drones, partially destroyed at least one house. Emergency services assisted in rescuing residents from burning and damaged buildings.
