Planet Labs satellite images from August 14, which are available to Skhemy, show that drones hit the northwestern part of the Borysohlibsk airport. In particular, several hangars were destroyed. 

According to aviation expert Anatolii Khrapchynskyi, the airfield is home to a technical and operational unit that repairs and maintains aircraft. In general, Su-25, Su-30, Su-34, and Su-35 aircraft of the Russian Air Force are based at the Borysohlibsk airfield.

Recall

On the night of August 13-14, long-range drones of the SBU and the Defense Forces (Air Force, Special Forces, Center for Unmanned Systems of the Armed Forces, Defense Intelligence and other branches of the military) carried out the largest attack on Russian military airfields in the entire war.

We are talking about the airfield in Voronezh, as well as Kursk, Savasleyka, and the aforementioned Borysoglebsk. According to a UNN source in the SBU, "it was a specially planned operation" so that the enemy could not use these airfields to launch strikes with drones on the front line and Ukrainian cities.
