Ukrainian missiles destroy two Russian Su-34s in Volgograd region

Ukraine's Navy says its Neptune-D missiles hit the 11th Mixed Aviation Regiment base at Oktyabrsky, Volgograd Oblast, and destroyed two Su-34 aircraft. The Navy calls the Su-34 a main platform for launching guided bombs at Ukrainian cities and front lines.

Russian Telegram channels cited by analysts say two Russian service members were killed and two wounded. The analysts say it was likely the farthest Neptune-D strike inside Russia, from a launch site more than 600 km away.
