It’s not clear the Friday raid is a prelude to a wider campaign of deep strikes by Ukrainian aircraft. Ukrainian brigades are counterattacking around Kyiv in the north and Kherson in the south, chasing after exhausted Russian troops who are retreating—“redeploying,” according to the Kremlin—toward separatist-controlled Donbas in eastern Ukraine. And on Friday, two of the twin-seat Mi-24s seem to have flown potentially a hundred miles or more to lob S-8 rockets at the Belgorod depot. In ambition if not in purpose, the Friday attack echoes a U. S. Army operation 31 years earlier. “The fire occurs in eight tanks with fuel and gasoline, occupying two thousand cubic meters, there is a threat of the fire spreading to another eight.” “There are 16 tanks in the seat of the fire,” the official told state media.

There were several explosions reported at an ammunition depot near Belgorod late Tuesday night, and Gladkov said Wednesday that a preliminary investigation pointed to a fire sparking those blasts.
