Military aircraft parking areas—and more—were targeted.

On the night of Saturday, November 15, the Akhtubinsk military airfield in the Astrakhan Region of the aggressor country, the Russian Federation, was attacked.

This was reported by the Ukrainian OSINT channel Exilenova+, which also published footage of the fire and the detonation of ammunition.

“According to our information, there were at least 30 explosions. The attack targeted airfield infrastructure, combat aircraft parking areas, ammunition depots, and other facilities,” the analysts write.

The governor of the Astrakhan Region Igor Babushkin claims that 31 drones were shot down last night in the northern part of the region.

The Akhtubinsk Airfield is the home base of the 929th State Flight Test Center of the Russian Ministry of Defense—one of the main centers for testing and evaluating new models of military aircraft and weapons, as reported by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in August of this year. On August 20, a Su-34 aircraft was damaged as a result of the attack.

The General Staff emphasized that the airfield is being used by the enemy to base Su-34 aircraft, which are used to launch guided airstrikes against Ukrainian territory. It is located approximately 650 km from the front line.

Also, on the night of November 15, in Tatarstan, drones attacked one of the Russian Federation’s largest petrochemical plants—Nizhnekamskneftekhim.

In addition, it was reported that in Taganrog, Rostov Oblast, Russia, the 220 kV T-10 (Taganrog-10) substation was attacked and a road bridge was destroyed.
