The drones struck a long-range missile carrier at the Olenya base, Ukrainian Pravda reported.

Ukrainian drones struck Russia’s Olenya airfield in the far north of the country on Saturday, hitting a strategic bomber, according to Ukrainian and other media reports.

The drones targeted a Tupolev Tu-22M3 supersonic long-range missile carrier at the “strategic aviation” base, Ukrainian Pravda reported, citing Ukraine’s intelligence unit.

Russia has not commented on the attack and Ukrainian military offered no further details.

Located in the Arctic on the Kola Peninsula, the Olenya air base is more than 1,900 kilometers north of Ukraine, but a mere 200 kilometers from the Finnish border.

      Similar to drones that struck Moscow. I assume they have people sneaking across borders with equipment and cover stories. Probably super dangerous. Maybe some have been caught that we don’t even know about. I wish them the best. Fuck Russia.
