On the night of November 25th, the Armed Forces of Ukraine launched another attack with Western missiles in the Russian rear region. At night, Russian Khalino military airfield in the Kursk region was attacked by ATACMS cluster missiles.

The footage shared online showed the explosions of the M74 munition in the area of the airfield.

The videos filmed by the local residents confirmed that at least two missiles reached the ground. According to some reports, one of them was intercepted and fell in the area away from the airfield as seen on the video. Some reports claimed that five missiles struck the air base. Earlier, Russian military sources reported that eight missiles targeted the Kursk region and seven of them were destroyed.

The Russian Ministry of Defense reported that over the past eight ballistic missiles, six US-made JDAM guided aerial bombs and 45 aircraft-type unmanned aerial vehicles were shot down by Russian air defense forces, but they include those destroyed in the Donbass regions.

The attack on the Khalino military airfield is another political act of the Kiev regime. According to preliminary reports, the strikes resulted in no significant damage. There was reportedly no aircraft of the Russian Aerospace Forces deployed at the airfield located close to the frontlines. The Russian military was building concrete fortification for the aircraft there.

The Russian military is well aware that military airfields in the Western regions are one of the most favorable targets for NATO missiles in Russian rear. Amid the threat of missile strike, the Aerospace Forces almost do not use military airfields in the tactical rear regions but there are still several strategically important air bases that can be reached by the strikes.

This is the third confirmed attack of the NATO missiles in the Russian rear regions after Kiev was allowed to launch them. And this is the first strike after the Russian military launched its Oreshnik medium-range ballistic missile capable of carrying nuclear units. Washington and its puppets in Europe responded that the deployment of Oreshnik would not stop Ukrainian strikes with their missiles. That’s why Ukrainians should wait for more devastating retaliation strikes to come.
