Attack on Borisoglebsk

Today, Russian Telegram channels reported that on the night of April 9, drones attacked the Borisoglebsk aviation training center in the Voronezh region of the Russian Federation.

Russian publics noted that the center was allegedly attacked by two drones. Although the occupiers officially reported that the UAV was shot down, footage appeared online that clearly shows that the “birds” flew towards the target and hit it. Thus, in the video of the moment of the attack, it was noticeable that the Russians tried to shoot down the UAV by opening fire from several points in the center. However, powerful explosions are subsequently seen and heard.

Subsequently, UNIAN’s source in the special services reported that the attack on the Borisoglebsk aviation training center in the Voronezh region of the Russian Federation was a GUR operation. “The Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense was behind the attack on the aviation training center in Borisoglebsk, Voronezh region. There is significant damage to the main production workshop,” the agency’s interlocutor noted.
