A Russian Su-34 conducted a guided bomb strike on Mykolaiv from the Black Sea, marking a notable event in aerial warfare for the region.
According to Ukraine’s Air Force, a Russian Su-34 dropped an air-delivered munition from the Black Sea toward Mykolaiv on October 16.
This is believed to be the first recorded instance of a guided bomb strike in the Mykolaiv region.
The impact site has been established; preliminary reports indicate no casualties.
Specialists are working on identifying the exact type of the munition. Online sources suggested the weapon may have been a KAB laser- or satellite-guided bomb, or a glide munition variant, but the Ukrainian military has not confirmed this.
