Sabotage at airport
Ukraine destroys Russian military jet in the Urals
The Ukrainian army has reportedly destroyed a Russian military aircraft in an area of the Urals far from the Ukrainian border. According to the report, the jet was parked at Orenburg-2 airfield, around 1000 kilometers from the Ukrainian border.
The transport plane had already been destroyed on Sunday night at an army airfield in the Orenburg region, the Ukrainian military intelligence service HUR announced on Monday in the online service Telegram.
It was a Soviet-built Tupolev Tu-134 aircraft, which is usually used to transport executives from the Russian Ministry of Defense, it added.
Military intelligence published images showing a burning aircraft (see video above) and spoke of an arson attack. The Russian authorities did not initially comment on the incident.
Kiev repeatedly attacks targets on Russian territory. According to Ukraine, it is targeting military and industrial infrastructure that Russia is using for its war in Ukraine.
Since the beginning of the war of aggression in February 2022, Moscow has arrested hundreds of people for alleged sabotage and arson attacks on military, railroad and other infrastructure facilities.
