In brief
Ukraine’s General Staff said its forces struck a Russian airfield and a drone-launch facility overnight into November 15. Both sites support air attacks on Ukraine, according to the military account.
Ukrainian forces struck Akhtubinsk airfield in Russia’s Astrakhan region and the Tsymbulova drone facility in the Oryol region overnight into November 15, RBC-Ukraine reported, citing Ukraine’s General Staff.
The military reported a powerful secondary detonation at a warehouse holding components for air-launched guided missiles at Akhtubinsk. It also said Ukrainian forces hit a mobile PRV-13 radar height finder, used to measure aerial targets’ altitude and determine their coordinates.
RBC-Ukraine described Akhtubinsk as roughly 650 kilometres from the front line and home to Russia’s 929th State Flight Test Centre, which tests military aircraft and weapons. The airfield also hosts Su-34 aircraft used to drop guided aerial bombs.
The second facility, near the settlement of Tsymbulova, stores, prepares and launches attack drones, according to the General Staff’s account. It said drones launched there target Ukrainian cities, energy facilities and civilian infrastructure. RBC-Ukraine’s report did not specify how many aircraft or drones were damaged, or establish that the radar height finder was destroyed.
