A number of claims and counterclaims are being made on the Ukraine-Russia conflict on the ground and online. While GlobalSecurity.org takes utmost care to accurately report this news story, we cannot independently verify the authenticity of all statements, photos and videos.
On 24 February 2022, Ukraine was suddenly and deliberately attacked by land, naval and air forces of Russia, igniting the largest European war since the Great Patriotic War. Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a "special military operation" (SVO - spetsialnaya voennaya operatsiya) in Ukraine in response to the appeal of the leaders of the "Donbass republics" for help. That attack is a blatant violation of the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine. Putin stressed that Moscow's goal is the demilitarization and denazification of the country. The military buildup in preceeding months makes it obvious that the unprovoked and dastardly Russian attack was deliberately planned long in advance. During the intervening time, the Russian government had deliberately sought to deceive the world by false statements and expressions of hope for continued peace.
"To initiate a war of aggression... is not only an international crime; it is the supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole." [Judgment of the International Military Tribunal]
The UK Ministry of Defence reported that Ukraine's General Staff reported that on 05 November 2025 Ukrainian forces conducted a combined uncrewed aerial system (UAS) and missile strike against a Russian base used for the storage, assembly and launch of UAS against targets in Ukraine, in the vicinity of Donetsk airport, in illegally-occupied Ukraine. Explosions and a secondary detonation were reported.
One building, reportedly used for warhead storage, was destroyed in Ukraine's strike, two further buildings sustained damage, and a fourth sustained minimal damage to its roof. UAS pre-launch infrastructure, a fuel depot and an ammunition warehouse are reported to have been damaged in the strike.
Open source reporting indicates over 1,000 GERAN-2 (Iranian origin Shahed-136 type) UAS were stored at the base. Russia reportedly began constructing UAS infrastructure and launch sites in the vicinity of the airport over the summer to support Russia's increased scale of UAS operations against Ukrainian targets.
Ukraine's strike emphasises the difficulties for Russian air defence in protecting military locations within range of Ukraine's ever improving UAS capabilities, particularly this close to the frontline. It also highlights Ukraine's continuing ability to conduct effective combined aerial strikes against Russian targets, at the same time as Russian forces continue to exert pressure across multiple areas of the frontline.
