🇷🇺 Russian forces strike airfields in Nikolaev and Kirovograd regions Explosions were reported at the Martynovka airfield near Voznesensk and Kanatovo near Kirovograd. Both sites have been targeted since 2022 as part of Ukraine's distributed air network. Kanatovo serves as a reserve base for Su-27 fighters, used by the 39th and 831st brigades for combat missions with GBU-39/62 bombs. Martynovka, a former MiG-29 hub, is utilized for dispersing tactical aviation to avoid concentrated targets. Ukraine maintains these facilities with capital runways to ensure aircraft can operate from multiple locations, complicating suppression efforts. No confirmed damage results are available yet. @Slavyangrad
