Source: Ukraine destroys Russian Ka-32 helicopter at Moscow airfield.
Editor's note: This is a developing story and is being updated.
A Russian multirole helicopter Ka-32 was destroyed at the Ostafyevo airfield in Moscow overnight on April 26, Ukraine’s military intelligence agency (HUR) reported.
An intelligence source confirmed to the Kyiv Independent that the helicopter was destroyed as a result of a HUR operation.
Ukrainian forces regularly conduct drone strikes and sabotage acts on Russian territory, targeting military assets, oil refineries, and industrial facilities. Kyiv usually doesn’t officially comment on attacks inside Russia.
"The destroyed unit of aviation equipment was used by the aggressor state in the interests of the Moscow aviation center, in particular, to support the operations of the Russian invading army," HUR said on Telegram.
