In Russia, there have been reports of alleged arrivals at the Savasleyka airbase in the Nizhniy Novgorod Region, from where Russian MiG-31K aircraft take off to attack with Kinzhal missiles.

This was reported by Russian resources. Russian governors reported that there were more than 100 drones in total. 

Local publics wrote about 10 hits in the Savasleyka area. It was also alleged that access to the village and town of Kulebaki, near which the facility is located, was blocked.

According to publicly available data, a branch of the 4th State Centre for Aviation Personnel Training and Military Testing of the Russian Ministry of Defence (formerly the 4th Centre for Combat Use and Retraining of Russian Air Force Flight Personnel) is deployed at Savasleyka. 

The Voronezh Region, according to Governor Gusev, was attacked by 35 drones. He stated that "a large number of drones" had been eliminated and that there were no casualties. Russian telegram channels reported that the Borisogleb military airfield in the region was hit. Astra wrote that there was a fire there. 

The channels also reported an attack on the Baltimore airfield on the outskirts of Voronezh. Local authorities did not comment on this. A photo of the fire was shared on social media, but it is not known when it took place. 

Russians also reported an attack on Belgorod and Volgograd Regions. 

The Russian Ministry of Defence later wrote about the alleged downing of missiles and drones over eight of its Regions.
