Ukraine scores most destructive strike on Russia

The Ukrainian military has destroyed a number of Russian military helicopters at the Kherson International Airport.

New satellite images from Planet Labs taken Tuesday showed the destruction.

A huge cloud of smoke is seen rising from the airport in the satellite image, with a number of helicopters on fire. Likewise some military vehicles too.

Ukraine war observers said it was the most destructive known strike on the Russian army so far.

The military strike at the airport was also picked up by NASA’s Fire Information for Resource Management System (FIRMS), which tracks large fires around the world.

According to the sensory data collected by FIRMS, the military strike occurred around 1:42 p.m. local time.

On Monday, satellite images from Maxar Technologies showed a number of Russian military helicopters on the tarmac at Kherson’s International Airport. Dozens of military vehicles are also seen in the surrounding area.

Ukraine has vowed not to allow Russia break its will in the on-going aggression.
