Details: MT Anderson noted significant damage around the hangars and to the north of them.
The images show destroyed hangars, but the extent of damage to the aircraft remains unclear.
Updated: Photos from the Marinovka air base have appeared online, showing that there were aircraft in the hangars that were damaged due to the detonation of guided bombs and a fire at the fuel storage.
MT Anderson believes that at least one Su-34 was destroyed and another was damaged in the hangars. Other hangars, which may have housed more aircraft, were also damaged.
