The runway at the Khmeimim airbase was partially destroyed.
Commercial spacecraft captured new images of the Russian military airbase Khmeimim showing that part of the military facility's runway, located next to the hangars erected to store combat aircraft, was destroyed.

On the presented satellite images, you can see that the cover of the runway with a length of several hundred meters is completely destroyed. At the same time, despite the absence of any official statements in this regard, it was assumed that we are talking about the reconstruction of the runway, since the reconstruction of another part of the runway was carried out earlier.
It should be noted that earlier unofficial data appeared that Russia is improving the infrastructure of the Russian military airbase in Syria in order to accept heavy aircraft, but no official comments were made on this score.
Taking into account the information provided by satellites, the runway reconstruction began in late October or early November.
