US Edition'A Powerful Secondary Detonation' — Ukraine Confirms Drone, Missile Strike on Russian Shahed Base at Donetsk Airport
The strike destroyed a key drone logistics hub used for assembling and launching Iranian-made Shahed drones, following months of intelligence gathering by Ukrainian forces.
- On November 6, 2025, Ukrainian forces destroyed a Russian Shahed storage, assembly and launch base at Donetsk airport, temporarily occupied territory, in an overnight precision strike.
- Because the facility stored and prepared Shahed drones, the site served as a logistics hub for Russia's suicide Shahed-type drones used to strike cities in occupied eastern Ukraine.
- Unmanned Systems Forces leader Brovdi said the strike followed a painstaking months-long reconnaissance and was a joint operation by Special Operations Forces, Rocket Forces and Artillery, and the 414th Brigade reconnaissance unit .
- The General Staff of Ukraine's Armed Forces reported powerful secondary detonations and massive explosions, while unconfirmed social media figures suggest the strike destroyed up to 1,000 Shahed-type drones and over 1,500 warheads; elsewhere overnight, Ukraine struck Russia's Volgograd oil refinery.
- The airport, once a premier Ukrainian project, fell under Russian occupation in 2015; social media videos appeared to show flames across Donetsk airport, supporting strike claims.
