According to the latest data, six planes were destroyed and damaged.

Video footage has been published online showing a burning Russian IL-76 aircraft at a military airfield in Pskov.

Most likely, the first recording was made by a Russian military officer who is on duty at the airfield.

Attention! Obscene language!

In another video Russians talk about two burning Il-76.

We remind, during the night from August 29 to 30, two dozen unknown drones attacked military facilities in the Russian city of Pskov. Explosions and shooting were heard there, and a fire broke out at the Kresty military airfield.

As a result of the UAV attack on the airport, 2 Il-76 planes of the 334th military transport regiment were destroyed and four other planes were damaged.

The skies over Pskov, the region and neighbouring regions were completely closed to overflying planes. Fire and smoke were visible in the area of the international airport, and the approaches to it were also blocked. After the attack, a fire started at the airport, which was extinguished by more than 50 EMERCOM employees.
