Ukraine's President has declared that a secret on more than 40 Russian bomber aircraft "will undoubtedly be in history books". Volodymyr Zelensky said the audacious cross-border operation was launched from inside Russia using drones hidden in flat-pack huts and operated remotely off trucks.

In a further blow to the Kremlin, the Ukrainian "office" behind the mission was located next to a building run by the Russian FSB. Mr Zelensky said: "Our people were operating in different Russian regions - in three time zones. "And our people were withdrawn from the territory of Russia on the eve of the operation, and now they are safe."
