Hit military airfield

Ukraine claims to hit military airfield deep inside Russian territory

From BBC

Elsewhere today, Ukraine's military says it's hit a military airfield deep inside Russia, destroying guided bombs stored in warehouses.

In a statement, the Ukrainian military reports a huge blaze and multiple detonations at the Lipetsk airfield, more than 350km (217 miles) from Ukraine's border.

The statement says the airfield is known for housing Russia's Su-34, Su-35 and MiG-31 war planes - but provides no further information about the overnight attack.

Lipetsk's regional authorities says a state of emergency is now in place in the area, confirming the detonations at an "energy infrastructure facility". Residents of four nearby villages are being evacuated.
