The Ukrainian military announced on Saturday that it had attacked Russia's Morozovsk airfield and a number of oil depots in three Russian regions overnight.
The strike hit an ammunition depot where Russian forces kept aerial bombs among other equipment, the military said.
"Russian combat aviation must be destroyed wherever it is, by all effective means. It is also quite fair to hit Russian airports," Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky wrote on Telegram.
Ukraine's president has repeatedly called on his Western allies for permission to use their weapons for long-range attacks on Russia, in addition to hitting military targets near the border, Reuters reports.
He said on Saturday that Russian forces had used more than 600 aerial bombs to attack Ukraine over the past week.
Ukraine has dramatically increased its use of long-range drones this year to attack Russian oil facilities in an attempt to damage the country's economy.
