A fire broke out at a Russian military airfield hundreds of kilometres from the Ukrainian border, state media reported early Friday, with authorities ordering evacuations in the area due to a "massive" drone attack. The attack in the Lipetsk region came as pro-Kyiv forces pressed a new cross-border offensive in neighbouring Kursk, in what appears to be the most significant attack on Russian soil since the conflict in Ukraine began. As Ukraine continues a major cross-border offensive in the north to counter relentless Russian shelling and aerial bomb attacks in frontline Ukrainian regions, FRANCE 24’s Mark Owen is joined by Frank Ledwidge, former UK Military Intelligence Officer, Senior Lecturer in Strategy at Portsmouth University and a Visiting Fellow for the Transatlantic Dialogue Centre Think Tank.
