On the night of August 3, powerful explosions thundered in the area of the military airfield of the Russian occupiers “Morozovsk”. It is located in the Rostov region of the aggressor country.
Videos from the landing site were published by Russian Telegram channels. After the explosions, a strong fire began, and detonation was heard.
Eyewitnesses wrote online that, judging by the detonation, an ammunition depot or fuel tanks were burning.
According to the international intelligence community InformNapalm and OSINT investigators, the fire occurred on the territory of the Russian fighters’ parking lot. According to preliminary data, the enemy has lost aircraft.
In addition, numerous fires were recorded at the Russian airfield as a result of secondary detonation after the attack by Ukrainian drones.
In addition, there were reports online about the possible impact on fuel tanks in the Kamensky District of the Rostov Region.
As the Russian publication ASTRA writes, citing reports from local residents, the Atlas plant, which belongs to the Federal Agency for State Reserves for the Southern Federal District, is probably hit. It is located in the Astakhovskoye rural settlement of the Kamensky District.
This plant specializes in storing petroleum products. In particular, it supplies them to the Russian army.
“In August 2020, the plant hosted joint exercises of the Ministry of Defense and Rosrezerv as part of the Caucasus-2020 exercises. Three methods were practiced in the demonstration exercises on the supply of petroleum products for the needs of the army: automobile, rail and pipeline,” ASTRA quotes a fragment of a publication in the Zemlya newspaper from 2023.
Rostov Region Governor Golubev stated that “55 Ukrainian UAVs attacked the territory of Rostov Region.”
“There were no casualties or injuries as a result of the attack. Emergency response services are dealing with the aftermath of the drone crashes,” he wrote on social media.
Later, a representative of the occupiers stated that as a result of the massive UAV attack, “a number of warehouse facilities in the Kamensky and Morozovsky districts were damaged.”
The Morozovsk airfield is home to dozens of Su-34 fighter-bombers, as well as Su-27 fighters. On the night of June 14, there was also an attack on the Morozovsk airfield . The head of the GUR, Kirill Budanov, said that the Ukrainian military used at least 70 Dragon and Splash drones. Their main target was a hangar for Su-34 Fullback fighter-bombers.
Satellite photos showed that the hangar was destroyed and five Su-34 aircraft had “disappeared.”
This is far from the first hit on this Russian airfield. As a result of the attack on “Morozovsk”, which was carried out by the SBU together with the Defense Forces on the night of April 5, at least six enemy aircraft were destroyed and eight more were significantly damaged.
As OBOZ.UA reported, explosions were heard in the Krasnodar region of the Russian Federation on the night of August 2: Russians complained of an attack by Ukrainian drones. Two of them
flew to an electrical substation in the city of Tikhoretsk, where a fire broke out.

A powerful strike on mafia airfield, hopefully with lots of destroyed planes. This seems to have been conducted by drones, since the West is still too lily-livered to give Ukraine permission to use their weapons on the fascist aggressor.
