Err that's more-or-less Russia's explanation as to what happened.

I noted yesterday on Twitter that the timing of the attack was significant given the airbase's location close to popular tourist beaches. It wouldn't have received anywhere near the coverage had it occurred at night. Untold hundreds of Russians must have filmed the event and shared it with their mates. The attack's propaganda value could well outweigh its military impact.
