The SBU struck 3 aircraft and 3 helicopters at the Rostov-Central military airfield, as well as the Yaroslavl oil refinery together with other Defense Forces
On the night of 17 September, the Security Service of Ukraine conducted a special operation at the Rostov-Central military airfield in Rostov-on-Don, during which it successfully engaged a number of Russian aerial targets.
Long-range drones of the SBU Alpha Special Operations Center struck:
▪️ Military transport aircraft An-12;
▪️ Two military transport aircraft An-26;
▪️ Three helicopters.
A large fire with secondary detonations broke out on the aircraft and helicopter parking area.
In addition, the SBU, together with the Defense Forces of Ukraine (SBS, GUR and others), struck the Yaroslavl oil refinery. A fire is recorded as a result of the refinery attack.
The Security Service continues to systematically target military and strategic infrastructure facilities in the Russian Federation that support the war against Ukraine. Such special operations are a direct response to the enemy’s massive attacks on our territory, during which Russia systematically uses missiles, strike drones and aviation to terrorize Ukrainians and destroy civilian infrastructure.
