Ukraine Strikes Key Russian Air Base, Damaging Bombers
Ukrainian special forces successfully attacked the Engels-2 air base in Russia, detonating an ammunition depot and causing fires and explosions. This key Russian air base, located approximately 450 miles from Ukraine, is used to launch attacks against Ukraine using Tu-95 and Tu-160 bombers. The attack, the third on Engels-2 this year, occurred simultaneously with a large-scale Russian missile and drone barrage targeting central Ukraine. While the type of weapon used by Ukraine remains unconfirmed, Russian authorities reported a large-scale drone attack and subsequent civilian damage.
