Russia accuses Ukraine of 'terrorist attack' on air bases

Russia has accused Ukraine of a 'terrorist attack' after bombing more than 40 Russian military aircraft at multiple air bases.

Russia's defense ministry has accused Ukraine of carrying out a "terrorist attack" against airports in the Murmansk, Irkutsk, Ivanovo, Ryazan and Amur regions, according to the Interfax news agency.

It says it has repelled attacks on three of the airports, while several aircraft were engulfed in flames at other bases - something that is visible in the video in our previous post.

The defense ministry adds that several participants involved in the attacks have been detained.

She also says the fires are now out and that there are no casualties.
