The airbase, located at coordinates 50.793544, 40.609673, roughly 3 kilometers from the town of Buturlynovka and about 200–250 km from Ukraine’s border, hosts the 899th Guards Assault Aviation Regiment.
The facility is known to house Su-34 fighter-bombers, which have been used in Russian airstrikes on Ukrainian territory.
Footage from local residents shows explosions occurring within the airbase perimeter. Witnesses reported hearing approximately 15 blasts during the nighttime attack.
The drones appear to have reached the airfield with minimal resistance from Russian air defenses.

The airbase was restored for military use in 2014 and became fully operational by 2017.
Today, the facility is used as a base for attack aircraft, in particular Su-34 fighter-bombers, which are actively involved in carrying out air attacks on the territory of Ukraine.

A similar drone attack on Bryansk International Airport was recorded on the night of June 5–6.That time, Ukrainian drones reportedly struck the airport grounds in the village of Oktyabrske, destroying a Russian Mi-8 helicopter and damaging a Mi-35 helicopter.
Local reports suggest that secondary explosions occurred after the initial strike, possibly indicating the presence of an ammunition depot at the facility.
The Mi-8 was completely destroyed after its munitions detonated, while the Mi-35 sustained partial damage.
Due to the power of the explosions and the secondary detonation recorded by eyewitnesses, it is possible that the Russians had set up an ammunition depot on the airport’s territory.
