Ukraine targeted the south Russian region of North Ossetia with drones for the first time ever today, causing minor damage, local authorities said.
The drones were aimed at a military airfield near the town of Mozdok, more than 700kms from the frontline, according to North Ossetia governor Sergei Menyailo.
"Today's drone attack on the airfield in North Ossetia is a special operation of the GUR," the source in Ukrainian military intelligence said, without elaborating. The damage from the attack was unclear, but Mr Menyailo urged residents not to share images of the drones online.
