More than 100 drones attacked various targets in Russia overnight, including several air bases. One of the targets was the Savasleyka air base in the Nizhny Novgorod region.

In the Nizhny Novgorod region, governor Gleb Nikitin claimed in a Telegram channel that air defense forces were “operating” in the Kulebak municipal district “to suppress the attack of fixed-wing unmanned aircraft.”

“All measures are being taken to minimize the consequences,” the governor reported.

The Baza telegram channel published a video showing attack drones flying towards the Savasleyka air base.

According to eyewitnesses, the area near the air base has been blocked.

According to the Ukrainian Air Force, the airbase is home to MiG-31K aircraft, which are carriers of the Kinzhal missiles used by Russia in its attacks on Ukraine. The Savasleyka air base is located about 600 kilometers from the Ukrainian border.

The FIRMS fire tracking system showed the epicenter of the fire on the territory of the Russian air base. It is likely that the drones hit the warehouses.
