Ukrainian Drones Shock Russia: Attack on Izhevsk and Crimea Far from Border!
Ready for some war drama unfolding far behind the front lines? Ukraine just proved it can strike where you least expect it – a whopping 1300 kilometers from its border! Yes, you read that right! Ukrainian drones launched attacks overnight on multiple targets across Russia, including the city of Izhevsk, known for its military industry and production of air defense systems.
Explosions in Izhevsk – Russia in Panic! Residents of Izhevsk woke up to explosions, and local authorities confirmed that one facility was hit by a drone attack. Alexander Brechalov, head of the Udmurt Republic, said emergency services responded immediately, and the Russian civil aviation agency temporarily suspended flights at the city airport. This isn’t the first time Izhevsk has been targeted – on November 17, a drone attack damaged a factory producing air defense systems, including TOR missile systems and radar components.
Crimea Under Fire – Explosions and Fires! On occupied Crimea, local Telegram channels reported explosions near Kurortnoye, where Russian S-300 and S-400 air defense systems are located. NASA satellite data reportedly showed a large fire in the area overnight, though no official confirmation exists. Explosions were also reported between the cities of Kerch and Feodosia. Russian air defense claims to have shot down 60 Ukrainian drones overnight, including 17 over Crimea.
Russian Defense or Illusion? The Russian Ministry of Defense claims their air defenses effectively shot down dozens of drones, but the fact that explosions and fires occurred in multiple locations casts doubt on these claims. Ukraine has not officially claimed responsibility, and its military intelligence has not commented. The Kyiv Independent could not independently verify these reports, but local sources and satellite images speak for themselves.
What Does This Mean? These attacks show that Ukraine can not only defend but also strike deep into Russian territory, shattering the myth of safety in distant Russian cities. Izhevsk, a city known for weapons production, is now a target, and Crimea, which Russia considers its territory, is not untouchable. This is a new generation war – drones, technology, and surprise strikes.
Fun or Danger? While Russia boasts about its air defense, Ukraine sends a clear message: no city is safe. Will this escalate into bigger conflicts? Will Russia manage to protect its deep territories, or will Ukraine keep hitting where it hurts the most?
