Ukrainian drone strike targets Khanskaya airbase in Adygea

Ukrainian special forces reportedly conducted a long-range drone attack on the Khanskaya airbase in Russia's Republic of Adygea, destroying an ammunition depot, a Su-34, and a Su-35 aircraft. Independent observers analyzing satellite imagery reported visible damage to the dispersed aircraft following the strike. Official confirmation from Russian authorities regarding the extent of the losses remains unresolved.
