Ukraine attacked an airfield which houses Russia's Tu-95 and Tu-160 strategic bombers, capable of carrying out nuclear long-range strikes.

Satellite images, documents, photos, and expert witnesses reveal extensive construction activity at a site in Belarus previously identified as a site that may house Russian nuclear weapons.

Ukraine said a recent attack on Russia's Engels-2 air base destroyed 96 cruise missiles. Satellite images show blackened craters.

The Ukrainian air force said on Thursday that Russia had launched 86 drones and an Iskander-M ballistic missile during overnight attacks.

Russia's defence units destroyed nine Ukrainian drones overnight, including two over the waters of the Black Sea, the Russian defence ministry said on Wednesday. The United States reached separate deals on Tuesday with Ukraine and Russia to pause their attacks over the Black Sea and against each other's energy targets,

The attack destroyed multiple Kh-101 cruise missiles, among other munitions, Andrii Kovalenko, an official at Ukraine's National Security and Defense Council, said on March 20. A fire, explosions, and secondary detonations of ammunition were recorded at the air base following the attack.
