Drone Strike Rocks Russian Airbase: Eyewitnesses Describe 'Terrifying' Scene A drone attack on a Russian airbase in the Belaya region on June 4, 2025, has sent shockwaves through the local community. Eyewitnesses described the scene as "terrifying." The attack, which lasted approximately an hour and a half, caused significant damage to the airbase, with videos circulating online showing multiple explosions and large plumes of smoke. "It was like hell," said one resident of the nearby town of Kursk, speaking to the Siberian Reality program. Another eyewitness, from the city of Buryat, described their house shaking repeatedly from the blast's pressure wave. The attack raises serious questions about the security of the airbase and the ability of local authorities to protect civilians from such incidents. The governor of Murmansk, Andrey Chibis, confirmed the drone attack, stating that the drones were launched from a nearby parked truck. Residents reported at least ten explosions at the site. Despite the governor's confirmation, and the clear visual evidence, some residents expressed skepticism about the Russian authorities' ability to prevent future attacks. The incident underscores the ongoing tensions in the region and highlights the increasingly sophisticated nature of drone warfare.
