Ukrainian forces reportedly carried out drone strikes targeting Rostov Oblast overnight on March 8-9, possibly hitting a Russian aircraft plant that refurbishes and modernizes Russian A-50 long-range radar detection aircraft. However, the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) says it cannot confirm the reported damage.

Earlier, Ukraine destroyed two A-50s near the Sea of Azov, leading to a significant reduction in Russian air strikes and increased losses of Russian aircraft.

The Russian Ministry of Defense claimed that Russian forces shot down 41 Ukrainian drones over Rostov Oblast overnight. Eyewitnesses reportedly said that the attack caused at least five explosions.

Geolocated footage of a strike shows an explosion at the Beriev Aircraft Plant in Taganrog, located in Rostov Oblast:
