The images show destroyed hangars, but the extent of damage to the aircraft remains unclear.

 

Updated: Photos from the Marinovka air base have appeared online, showing that there were aircraft in the hangars that were damaged due to the detonation of guided bombs and a fire in the fuel storage tanks.

MT Anderson believes that at least one Su-34 was destroyed and another was damaged in the hangars. Other hangars, which may have housed more aircraft, were also damaged.
