Thermal Camera Reveals: Window Seats in AC-Free Trams Hit Over 50°C

Ukrainian forces struck the Savasleyka military air base in Russia overnight on Saturday, targeting the site where MiG-31K fighter jets — carriers of Russia's hypersonic Kinzhal missiles — are stationed. The strike was first reported by the Telegram channel Exilenova+ and later confirmed by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

According to the Telegram channel, a series of explosions at the airfield triggered a fire. Zelensky wrote on X that Ukraine's long-range strikes had hit precisely the air base from which the carrier aircraft take off to launch missiles at Ukrainian cities and villages. He noted that the Savasleyka base lies roughly 700 kilometers from the Ukrainian border — deep in Russian territory.

Neither the Ukrainian side nor other sources have yet disclosed the extent of the damage.
