📄 Amid the ongoing missile and drone warfare between Ukraine and Russia, Ukrainian forces have launched a targeted strike on a key Russian air base. According to multiple international reports, Ukraine hit the Borisoglebsk air base in Russia’s Voronezh region on July 5.

The base is known to house Russian fighter jets, including Su-34 aircraft. In a public statement, Ukraine’s military claimed, “We struck hangars containing glide bombs and training aircraft.”

Alexander Gusev, governor of Voronezh, stated on Telegram that 25 drones were intercepted overnight and that temporary power outages occurred. However, he did not mention any damage to the air base.

This strike follows a massive Russian aerial campaign launched from the night of July 3 into the early hours of July 4. Russia deployed 550 drones and missiles in what has been described as the largest air attack since the war began. In Kyiv alone, 23 people were reportedly injured.

Ukraine’s military also reported that Russia had launched 322 drones in another major attack the previous day, of which 157 were shot down and 135 neutralized.

Ukraine is expected to continue targeting high-value Russian military assets, including air bases and munitions storage, to counter Russia’s increasing aerial offensives. Russia, in turn, may intensify retaliatory drone and missile strikes, particularly against urban centers and energy infrastructure.

The strike on Borisoglebsk marks a tactical escalation by Ukraine, demonstrating its growing capability to hit military targets deep within Russian territory. As both sides escalate drone and missile operations, the conflict is shifting further into a war of attrition via airpower.
