Ukraine Strikes Russian Airfield, General Staff Confirms

Ukrainian forces successfully targeted the Savasleyka airfield in Russia's Nizhny Novgorod region during a nighttime raid on June 9th, 2025. The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine later confirmed the strike, reporting that two Russian aircraft were hit. This attack is significant because the airfield is known to house MiG-31K fighters, which carry the hypersonic Kinzhal missiles. A military spokesperson interviewed in the video stated, "This is another good precedent." The precision of the strike highlights the growing capabilities of the Ukrainian military. The successful operation underscores the ongoing conflict and the evolving tactics employed by both sides.
