Ukraine has carried out a drone attack against targets in southern Russia, and claims to have destroyed six Russian planes at an airbase in Rostov region.
An estimated 29 fighter jets were potentially stationed at Russia's Morozovsk airfield in Rostov Oblast during the recent attack, OSINT analyst MT Anderson said on X on April 5.
