A Ukrainian drone attack on Russian air bases damaged at least two hangars and other areas.

The aftermath of the attack can be seen in satellite images analyzed by The Associated Press on Thursday, Ukrinform reports.

Images taken on Wednesday by Planet Labs PBC show that two hangars at Borisoglebsk Air Base had been struck, with a field of debris around both.

It was not immediately clear what purpose the hangars served. There also appeared to be potential damage to two fighter aircraft at the base.
