The attack on Russia’s Morozovsk airfield was carried out by Ukraine's SBU security service together with the military and defence forces, Ukrainian state news agency Ukrinform reported on Friday.
It said the airfield was home to Su-34 bomber jets and Su-27 fighter jets, "which are the types of aircraft Russia uses to drop chemical warheads on Ukrainian Armed Forces positions and frontline Ukrainian cities."
Ukraine has significantly stepped up its drone attacks on targets in Russia in recent weeks, the Reuters news agency reported.
Russia invaded Ukraine by land, air and sea on February 24, 2022, starting the largest armed conflict in Europe since World War II.
Friday is day 772 of Russia’s war on Ukraine.
