Ukrainian kamikaze drones struck several targets at the permanent base of Russia’s 112th Missile Brigade, reportedly responsible for recent missile attacks on the Ukrainian city of Sumy.

This is reported by a number of media outlets, including ASTRA, the Dnipro OSINT community, as well as Russian propaganda media.

The strike, carried out using Ukrainian-made Lyuityi drones, hit the town of Shuya in Russia’s Ivanovo region at around 9 a.m. Targets included the brigade’s headquarters, barracks, and a training facility within military unit No. 03333.

The attack triggered large fires at multiple locations on the base, as confirmed by NASA FIRMS satellite data.

The number of casualties remains unclear, but reports suggest a significant number of personnel were inside the barracks during the strike.

Observers say the attack appeared to catch the unit by surprise, with no prior warning, or they neglected safety protocols.

It is believed that Russian personnel may also have been inside the headquarters and training facility at the time of the attack.

Local authorities have not commented on the specific details of the incident, only stating that “the consequences are being addressed.”

Russia’s Defense Ministry claimed that seven drones were intercepted but made no mention of the strike itself.

On April 15, Ukrainian forces reportedly struck another missile unit — the 448th Missile Brigade — also believed to have taken part in attacks on Sumy.

The full extent of the damage is still being assessed, though footage shared online showed fires and unconfirmed reports of casualties.

Strike on Sumy

On April 13, Russian forces launched two ballistic missiles at the center of Sumy, killing 31 people, including two children.

Over 80 others were injured, among them ten children. All victims are receiving medical care.

According to Ukraine’s Main Intelligence Directorate (GUR), the missiles were launched from Liski in Voronezh region and Lezhenki in Kursk region. The attack involved units from the 112th and 448th Missile Brigades, using either Iskander-M missiles or North Korean KN-23 systems.

“Our common goal is to ensure that no war criminal — from those who issued the orders to those who pressed the launch button — escapes justice,” said Defense Intelligence Chief Kyrylo Budanov.
