Details: MT Anderson noted significant damage around the hangars and to the north of them. 

 

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 at the fuel storage. 

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.

 

Background: Residents of the Russian town of Kalach-on-Don in Volgograd Oblast reported hearing the sounds of drones and explosions in the sky on the night of 21-22 August. The drones were allegedly targeting the Marinovka air base near the city of Oktyabrsky.
