Details: The Morozovsk airfield in Russia’s Rostov Oblast housed air defence, aircraft, and warehouses containing electronic warfare devices, the source said.

The special operation was carried out jointly with Defence Intelligence of Ukraine and the defence forces.

Quote: "The Ukrainian drones did a great job hitting the aviation ammunition depot. The detonation was on such a scale that the locals did not have enough swear words to describe their impressions of the scale of the explosions and the blossoming 'cotton'. [Russian propaganda, initially refusing to use the word ‘vzryv’ (explosion), used ‘khlopok’ (a bang) instead. However, ‘khlopok’ also means ‘cotton’, and this has since become a meme - ed.]

The local Russian authorities are trying to cover up the attack on the military facility and saying that only some storage facilities are on fire."

More details: The source stated that in addition to the airbase, the drones also hit an oil depot in the city of Gubkinsky in Belgorod Oblast.
