Ukraine says it hits four warplanes in Russia's Volgograd region
Ukraine's military said on Friday it had struck four warplanes at an airbase in central Russia's Volgograd Region as part of a drive to hit Russian war assets. In a post on the Telegram messaging app, the military said it had hit four Su-34 aircraft at the Marinovka base outside the city of Volgograd, some 900 km (550 miles) from the Ukrainian border. The post said the operation was conducted by the military's special operations branch, together with the SBU security service and other services of the military. "According to preliminary information, four aircraft were hit, specifically SU-34 planes, as well as technical-operational facilities where different warplanes are serviced and repaired," the statement said. There was no immediate comment from the Russian military. Ukraine has engaged in a number of long-range operations against military targets in recent months -- industrial, energy and other sites. Earlier this month, the Ukrainian military carried out a major strike, dubbed "Operation Spider's Web," in which large numbers of long-range Russian bombers were hit at several Russian airbases far from Ukrainian territory. The latest statement said the damage caused by the strike on Marinovka was being assessed. It described the Su-34 as Russia's main aircraft used in bombing raids on Ukrainian territory, deployed in particular for launching guided bombs, used increasingly in attacks on Ukrainian cities. © Thomson Reuters 2025.

Russian strike kills five, wounds 25 in Ukraine's Dnipropetrovsk
KYIV: A Russian strike on Friday killed five people and wounded 25 in Ukraine's industrial Dnipropetrovsk region, where Moscow has stepped up deadly bombardments, authorities said. Russian forces, which invaded Ukraine early in 2022, are vying to gain a foothold in Dnipropetrovsk for the first time in the war. Regional governor Sergiy Lysak said the attack was on the town of Samar, outside the region's main city Dnipro in central Ukraine. Ukraine claimed to have struck four Russian Su-34 tactical aircraft in an overnight long-range drone attack on an airbase in the Volgograd region, not far from the border between the two countries. Ukraine pounds Kursk with drones, killing one and injuring nine, Russia says Kyiv 'conducted a joint special operation, as a result of which two Russian SU-34 fighter-bombers at the Marynivka airfield were destroyed and two more were damaged,' the secret service SBU said in a statement. Russian forces earlier this week struck both Dnipro and Samar with missiles, leaving at least 23 dead. Ukrainian military officials have said that previous Russian strikes near Samar hit Ukrainian military training facilities. Moscow earlier this week claimed to have captured two more villages near the border of the Dnipropetrovsk region. Separately, authorities in the northern region of Kharkiv said Russian attacks killed one person and wounded three others, without specifying where the attack had taken place.
