Ukraine destroys airfield, fuel depots, sub in overnight drone attacks on Russian regions

A massive drone attack walloped the military command center Russia is using to wage its war against Ukraine on Saturday.

The overnight barrage destroyed ammunition plants and fuel depots in Russia’s Belgorod, Kursk, and Rostov regions.

Among the successful targets was the Morozovsk airfield, where Russia keeps its fighter-bomber jets. The Russian airfield has played a crucial role in the Kremlin’s operations against Ukraine.

Russia also launched drones oveဣrnight, with 24 of the 29 being ﷽taken out by Ukrainian forces.

Separately, the United Kingdom’s Defense Intelligence Agency’s latest report said Russia is losing more than infrastructure and war machinery — its also still losing an eye-popping number of men in the brutal battles in eastern Ukraine.

The average daily casualty rate in July was 1,140, which is down from a staggering 1,262 a day in May, the UK agency said.

The report suggests the death count dip could be connected to “Russian forces consolidating positions on the Kharkov axis” in the eastern region.

The report further cites an effective Ukrainian defense and the ꧃poor trai⭕ning of Russian soldiers for the drop.

Defense Intelligence Agency o⛎fficials expect the daily casualty count will remain at slightly over 1,000 through this mo꧂nth.
