Russia has confirmed multiple airbases have come under drone attack - in the Murmansk and Irkutsk regions.
According to local witnesses, explosions were heard near the base in Murmansk, and fires started in several places.
The base is reportedly home to a number of long-range Russian bomber planes.
It's located about 4,300 kilometres from the Ukrainian border.
