The drones hit an airport in the city of Pskov causing a huge blaze and damaging four military transport planes. Pskov Governor Mikhail Vedernikov said the Russian military repelled the attack, and there were no injuries.

Russian authorities briefly closed the airspace in the region, while Pskov airport cancelled all flights today to assess potential damage to the runway.
