Russian forces targeted a major repair base near Poltava, hitting railway tracks, hangars, and workshops. F-16 jets were also observed taking off from the region.

According to Sergei Lebedev, coordinator of the pro-Russian underground movement in Mykolaiv, Russian forces struck a major repair base located in the outskirts of Poltava, which included a railway network, hangars, and workshops.

Lebedev reported that the attack hit a large repair facility situated between the villages of Stepne and Mironivka, in the eastern suburbs of Poltava. The base was noted for its extensive railway tracks, unloading ramps, and large warehouses.

Additionally, Lebedev mentioned explosions in Mirgorod and its surrounding areas, though no detonation was reported following the blasts. He also noted that another strike targeted an airbase area where U.S. F-16 fighters had previously been observed. According to Lebedev, these American jets took off from airfields near Poltava and Mirgorod on Saturday.
