Summary

Ukrainian forces reportedly struck the Marinovka airbase in Russia's Volgograd region on the night of October 29 using Neptune missiles, destroying two Su-34 fighter-bombers. Ukraine's Navy and President Zelenskyy claimed the strike; Russia's military has not confirmed it. Satellite imagery reportedly shows wreckage of the aircraft in parking areas near hangars and a fire at the aircraft parking area, and a nearby hangar was reportedly damaged. Two people were killed and two injured, according to reports. Reports differ on whether a Russian Iskander launcher was also hit, and the Kyiv Independent said it could not verify the claims.
