A Ukrainian strike allegedly damaged two Russian military aircraft \u2014 a MiG-31 and either a Su-30 or Su-34 fighter jet \u2014 at an airfield used to launch Kinzhal missile attacks, the General Staff of Ukraine’s Armed Forces said on May 9.<\/p>\n

The extent of the damage is still being assessed, the military said<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ukraine’s overnight strike targeted the Savasleyka airfield in Russia’<\/a>s Nizhny Novgorod Oblast, which the Kremlin uses to launch MiG-31K jets armed with Kinzhal hypersonic missiles, according to the General Staff.<\/p>\n

The operation was conducted by Ukrainian Special Operations Forces in coordination with other units.<\/p>\n

The strike happened as Russia launched a massive attack<\/a> on Ukrainian cities overnight on June 9. <\/p>\n

Recently, Ukraine has stepped up strikes on Russian military aircraft, which Moscow often uses to target civilian infrastructure. Earlier this month, Ukrainian drones destroyed dozens of Russian strategic bombers and surveillance aircraft in a series of attacks dubbed Operation Spiderweb<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On June 1, the Security Service of Ukraine<\/a> (SBU) used smuggled first-person-view drones<\/a> to strike four Russian airfields: Olenya, Ivanovo, Dyagilevo, and Belaya. The SBU said 41 aircraft were damaged or destroyed, including heavy bombers and rare A-50 spy planes<\/a>, causing an estimated $7 billion in damage.<\/p>\n

Footage of those strikes, released<\/a> by Ukrainian officials on June 4, showed direct hits on key Russian aircraft. Ukrainian officials say such operations aim to limit Russia’s ability to launch missile attacks against Ukrainian cities.<\/p>\n
