Summary

On October 15, 2026, Ukrainian forces conducted a missile strike on the Borisoglebsk airfield in Russia's Voronezh region using Neptune coastal missiles. Ukrainian officials claim that six Su-34M aircraft were damaged to varying degrees, with four completely destroyed and two additional aircraft struck. Observers reported secondary explosions and a fire at the airfield, along with damage to aviation support infrastructure. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy and the Ukrainian Navy confirmed responsibility for the attack. Russian officials did not acknowledge the strike, though Voronezh Governor Alexander Gusev reported that air defense systems intercepted drones and aerial objects, with debris causing damage in the city of Voronezh. Independent verification of the aircraft losses has not been possible.
