Ukraine drone attack hits more than 40 Russian bomber planes

Ukraine claims to have hit more than 40 Russian bomber planes in a drone attack.

Ukraine's security service says "enemy strategic bombers are burning en masse in Russia" and the "large scale special operation" is aimed at destroying bomber aircraft, reports BBC.

Russian media is reporting the attack in Murmansk and Irkutsk but says air defences are working.

Ukrainian authorities report 472 drones and seven ballistic and cruise missiles were involved in an attack on the country last night, in what appears to be one of the largest Russian drone attacks. Ukraine says it neutralised 385 aerial targets.
