Moment 'Ukrainian drone plane' explodes after flying into Russian special forces base more than 700 miles from the front line This is the dramatic moment a Ukrainian aircraft-style drone explodes after flying into a Russian special forces base more than 700 miles from the front line. Several drones reportedly struck the OMON police unit in Grozny, and a base from where troops are sent to fight against Ukraine. Loud explosions were reported in the city, which is the capital of Chechnya, a region headed by Putin warlord Ramzan Kadyrov, who has sent tens of thousands of troops to the war.

Shooting was heard in attempts to down the pilotless plane loaded with explosives, but there appeared a lack of air defences against the slow-moving incoming drones.

It is the third strike on the city in just 11 days.

The extent of damage and any toll was not immediately known.
