The Ukrainian transport plane An-225 "Mriya" during landing at the British Brize-Norton air base in the Cotswolds demolished the fence set up along the perimeter of the runway with air currents. The incident was reported on Friday, June 25, by the publication GloucestershireLive.

The presence of victims is not reported. It is noted that the flight of the Ukrainian aircraft was part of the process of withdrawing NATO forces from Afghanistan. An-225 "Mriya" arrived in the UK from the city of Karachi in Pakistan.

The AN-225 Mriya is a strategic cargo aircraft that was designed by the O. K. Antonov Design Bureau in the Ukrainian SSR as part of the Soviet Union in the 1980s. It is equipped with six turbofan engines and is the largest and most lifting aircraft ever built. Currently, only one copy is in flight condition, it is operated by the Ukrainian company Antonov Airlines.

Earlier in the day, it became known that after the withdrawal of the main part of the troops from Afghanistan, the United States intends to leave about 650 military personnel in the country.

On June 24, the secretary of the Russian Security Council, Nikolai Patrushev, said that the situation in Afghanistan will deteriorate more and more as US and NATO troops withdraw from the country. There will be an increase in terrorism in the country.
