Moment Ukraine blitz Russian airfield destroying bomb-making warehouse & oil refineries near Putin’s palace

A RUSSIAN military airfield and two oil refineries in Vladimir Putin's favourite holiday spot have been blitzed by Ukrainian forces.

Footage showed a Russian aerial bomb-making warehouse destroyed after dozens of kamikaze drones struck Krasnodar region overnight.

The Ukrainian blitz was launched at Putin's's favourite holiday region, where the tyrant has two sprawling palaces and a presidential ski lodge, and from where he rules Russia during the summer months.

Warplanes and airport buildings were reportedly damaged in the strikes at Kushchevskaya military airfield.

A warehouse allegedly containing the parts of aerial bombs used by Russia against Ukraine was seen in video to have been damaged.

Planes were also damaged, according to sources cited by independent ASTRA media, after a fire broke out at the airfield where warplanes Su-27 and Su-34 are kept.

And Ukrainian drones struck the Ilsky and Slavyansky oil refineries in Slavyansk-on-Kuban, also in Krasnodar region.

Fires broke out at both facilities with reports of significant damage.

Managers at the Slavyansk refinery said: "The refinery has partially stopped working. Ten drones attacked the refinery last night.

"They got into, among other things, oil refining installations."

Some 68 kamikaze drones were unleashed on the region overnight.

Russia's defence ministry suggested they had downed all of the drones, despite the obvious aftermath of Ukraine's strikes.

The Russian defence ministry said: "Over the past night, attempts by the Kiev regime to carry out terrorist attacks using aircraft-type unmanned aerial vehicles against targets on the territory of the Russian Federation were stopped.

"Sixty-six Ukrainian UAVs were destroyed and intercepted by air defence systems on duty over the Krasnodar region, and two more UAVs were destroyed over the Crimean Peninsula."

In Ukraine, a total of 34 Russian missiles - including four hypersonic Kinzhals, or daggers - were launched.

Thermal power stations in Dnepropetrovsk, Ivano-Frankivsk, and Lviv regions were targeted, with four power plants reportedly suffering damage.

Russia is now looking to hit Ukrainian rail links to stop an expected new flood of Western munitions reaching the frontlines.

Several key rail links have been hit in recent days.

Ukraine's overnight attack came as Russia staged a hypersonic missile strike on Ukrainian power stations.

Nato scrambled warplanes in neighbouring Poland in a cautionary move as Putin's forces used their Tu-95MS and Tu-22M3 strategic bombers.
