NASA satellites have recorded large-scale fires at the Russian Morozovsk airfield. These consequences are recorded after a night strike by the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

At night, the Ukrainian military attacked the Morozovsk airfield (Rostov region, Russia). NASA satellite imagery shows that several fires have been recorded at the facility.

NASA Firms maps show the airfield "glowing like a Christmas tree". Significant fires are also visible at the site of the strikes.

The DeepState project has released the first satellite images of the aftermath of the strike on the Russian airfield Morozovsk.

"The low-quality images, although somewhat cloudy, clearly demonstrate the extent of the destruction. In particular, the complete destruction of one of the airfield's aviation weapons depots," the analysts stated.

DeepState also noted that the Russians removed all aircraft parked near the warehouses, but the extent of their damage is unknown.

Today, the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces revealed the details of the night strike on the Russian airfield. Read the details in RBC-Ukraine's article.

Today's attack was not the first. In July, the airfield in Morozovsk was also attacked. Then the Russian military reported explosions in the city, and in June, after the attack on the airfield in Morozovsk, the Russians even removed all Russian fighters from there.

In April, after a strike on the airfield in Morozovsk, at least six Russian aircraft were destroyed and eight more were severely damaged.
