Strikes reported at Bayraktar drone bases in Donbass

Russia's Interfax news agency said witnesses had reported strikes at the Bayraktar drone bases in Donbass, in territory controlled by Kyiv.

Earlier this month, Ukraine and Turkey signed a series of agreements - including a deal that will expand the production capabilities of Turkish drone-maker Baykar, which saw its drones deployed last year in Kyiv's war against Russian-backed separatists in its eastern Donbass region.

The two countries signed eight agreements, which also included a trade deal that Kyiv says will boost bilateral trade to around $10bn over the next five years.
