In addition to utility problems in the Russian city of Engels, a series of explosions occurred on the night of April 5. It is the location of the base for Tu-95 and Tu-22 heavy bombers, which are used to fire cruise missiles at Ukrainian cities.
This was reported by a number of Telegram channels.
"In Engels, where Russian heavy bombers are based, a UAV has been 'eliminated,'" reports Saratov Region Governor Roman Busargin. In his Telegram, he writes: "A UAV was eliminated in Engels early this morning. Preliminary, there were no casualties and no damage to infrastructure caused by the fall of the wreckage."
It is noted that from his statement it is impossible to make an unambiguous conclusion whether one drone was destroyed or more than one. The local public wrote about numerous explosions, but if an air target is shot down by missiles, at least two missiles are needed to intercept it. Engels is known primarily for its base of Tu-95 and Tu-22 heavy bombers, which are used to fire cruise missiles at the Ukrainian rear from a long distance, usually from the Caspian Sea.
There were reports of explosions near the airfield. It has been repeatedly targeted by Ukrainian drones. Explosions were heard in Engels, Saratov Region, Russia. Local publics report "pops," and residents write in chat rooms about explosions that "shake the windows" and share video from surveillance cameras. As you know, there is a military airfield near the town of Engels. It is from there that Russian terrorists launch their strategic aviation to shell Ukrainian cities.
Earlier we reported that Ukraine has moved to a new level of attacks.
