Ukrainian Navy Strikes Russian Airfield with Neptune Missiles

The Ukrainian Navy conducted an overnight missile strike on October 14-15 targeting the Borisoglebsk military airfield in Russia's Voronezh region. Using the Neptune coastal missile system, Ukrainian forces hit six Russian Su-34M bombers and destroyed equipment used to support flight operations.

The attack triggered secondary explosions and fires at the airfield. While the Ukrainian Navy did not specify whether the aircraft were completely destroyed or merely damaged, the military branch stated the operation aims to weaken Russia's aviation capabilities. Specifically, the strike intended to reduce Russia's ability to launch guided aerial bombs against Ukrainian defensive positions and communities near the front line.
