Ukraine struck a military aircraft repair plant in Taganrog, a key Russian airbase in Voronezh, and an oil refinery in Tuapse early morning on Wednesday in what appeared to be another wave of deep strikes against Moscow’s military infrastructure. Russian officials said air defenses intercepted missiles and drones across several regions, while local footage and monitoring channels pointed to fires and explosions at multiple strategic sites.JOIN US ON TELEGRAMFollow our coverage of the war on the @Kyivpost_official. In Russia’s Rostov region, Governor Yury Slyusar claimed air defenses shot down a missile over Taganrog early Tuesday. Debris reportedly injured two women, one seriously. But footage analyzed by Russian outlet Astra suggested the strike hit near the 325th Aviation Repair Plant, a facility that services Russian military aircraft including An-12 and Il-76 transport planes, Su-24 bombers, Su-25 attack jets, and Mi-8 and Mi-24 helicopters. The facility has been sanctioned by the EU, the United States, and Ukraine over its role in supporting Russia’s war effort.
Further north, explosions rocked the area around the Baltimor military airfield in Voronezh, home to Russia’s Su-34 fighter-bombers heavily used in attacks on Ukraine. Voronezh Governor Alexander Gusev said “two high-speed targets” were destroyed over the city, adding that debris damaged civilian structures but caused no casualties. Ukrainian monitoring channel Exilenova+ claimed the targets were British-French Storm Shadow cruise missiles aimed at the airbase. Videos circulating online showed thick black smoke rising above the area after the strike.
