Ukraine on Sunday orchestrated a massive drone attack targeting five key Russian military airbases in its "most long-range operation", striking targets deep into Russian territory--thousands of kilometres from the front line. Under the covert operation code-named "Spider's web," Ukraine's Security Service (SBU) struck at least 41 aircraft used to "bomb Ukrainian cities", including Tu-95 and Tu-22 strategic bombers and the A-50 radar detection and command aircraft.

Moscow confirmed that five of its airfields in Murmansk, Irkutsk, Ivanovo, Ryazan, and Amur regions were targeted by Kyiv using first-person-view (FPV) drones.
