Ukraine has launched drone attacks on three military airfields in Russia, one of which hosts aircraft that can carry hypersonic missiles, it has been reported.

As Ukraine carries on with its incursion into Russia’s Kursk region, Kyiv is continuing with drone attacks within Russia, often targeting military and infrastructure sites in strikes aimed to hurt Moscow’s war machine. Newsweek has contacted the Russian Defense Ministry for comment.

However, this is not what the photograph circulating on Facebook and X (formerly known as Twitter), depicts.

The image is actually a screenshot from a video showing a section of the evacuated port silos in Beirut, Lebanon, collapsing in August 2022 after a fire broke out on the site in July. 

This followed a huge explosion in the port in August 2020, involving thousands of tonnes of stored…
