According to a report from the news agency Reuters, Ukraine attacked Russia’s Engels proper bomb center on Thursday, igniting a fire and an explosion 700 kilometers away from the front lines of the conflict.
A picture that showed fumes rising above destroyed buildings was reported by the Reuters report. Russia’s Tupolev Tu-160 nuclear-capable big tactical aircraft, known as White Swans, are housed at the Engels foundation, which has been operating since the first Soviet era.
A Ukrainian drone strike in Lenin, according to Saratov government Roman Busargin, confirmed the governor’s confirmation of the governor’s confirmation of the governor’s confirmation of the governor’s confirmation of the governor’s Saratov claim that it had ignited an airport. He continued, noting that residents of the area were evacuated, but did not specifically mention the Engels center. It is, however, the area’s major airport.
Maxim Leonov, the district head of Engels, stated a nearby state of emergency had been declared but did not provide additional information.
In situations that date back to December 2022, Ukraine has recently attacked Engels Air Base. Ukraine claimed to have hit an oil terminal serving the foundation in January, which set off a five-day fire.
According to Kyiv, Russian military installations are legitimate goals, and Russian forces frequently use long-range drones to attack them. The Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine ( HUR) and the Security Service of Ukraine ( SBU) frequently hold responsible for these attacks.
About 500 kilometers south of the Ukrainian border and 730 kilometers southeast of Moscow are the bases for the Tu-95 and Tu-160 nuclear-capable bombers at Engels-2 airport. The foundation has been attacked numerous times since Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, according to The Moscow Times.
Lenin, which is located more than 465 miles from the Ukrainian border, is a significant strategic bomb foundation from which Russian aircraft have launched long-range missile attacks. The bottom has been targeted by Russian numerous times, most just in January.
In the early hours of the morning, US President Donald Trump spoke with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Putin agreed to a 30-day wait in strikes on energy infrastructure but rejected the US’s request for an absolute ceasefire in Ukraine.
