Multiple Russian sources say that Ukraine has struck Russian air bases near Luhansk and Berdiansk in an unprecedentedly successful strike using long-range missiles. Destroying Russian helicopters in Berdiansk is particularly important to Ukraine's southern offensive.

Ukrainian General Staff reports strikes on airfields near temporarily occupied Berdiansk and Luhansk.
Russian Telegram channels commented that the attack on Luhansk was one of the most serious since the start of the "SMO". They suppose that ATACMS missiles were used, and report losses of people and aviation that supported the Russian grouping in the Southern direction.
Here is what one of the Russian "military bloggers" wrote:
"The morning is not good. Ukrainians stroke with ATACMS missiles on our airfield last night where the Army Aviation was based. One of the most serious strikes in all of the duration of SMO. If not the most serious. There are losses in people and equipment. It is pointless to write about needing to draw conclusions so this doesn't repeat. This will repeat while the war goes on. We need to be ready for it."
