Russia: Kiev drones meet the airfield and refinery
Ukraine defends itself against the Russian attacks with its own drones. According to reports, Russia had to take a sensitive hit again.
In parallel to the devastating Russian air strikes on Ukraine, Kiev has also covered the neighboring country with severe drone attacks. The Russian Ministry of Defense reported the shooting of 174 drones over the areas of Brjansk, Rostow, Saratow, Woronech, Kaluga, Kursk, Orjol, Rjasan, Tula, Belgorod, Tambow and the Crimea peninsula since 2014. “In addition, three Neptune MD steering weapons have been destroyed by the air defense above the Black Sea.” Despite the success reports of the Russian military, there were also several impacts.
A high -rise was hit in the city of Engels in the Saratow area. There had been no injuries that the building had been briefly evacuated, but the residents have now returned, said the governor of Saratow, Roman Bussargin. “Due to a drone attack, there was a fire in one of Engels’ industrial companies,” he also wrote. According to media reports, it should be a refinery. In Engels there is a large air force base of the Russian armed forces. The refinery lies in the immediate vicinity of the base, from which aircraft always rise to the shelling of Ukraine.
There was also an impact in the Brjansk region near a military airfield. A big fireball can be seen on videos of residents. In addition, several explosions can be heard. According to the independent military blogger Jan Matwejew, this indicates that a ammunition camp was hit.
According to the reigning governor Jewgeni Perwyschow, a company was met in the Tambow region. Three people were injured in the impact. There was no further information about the company.
Railway traffic in sight
In the meantime, there was another attack on the railroad in the Belgorod region near the border: a reserve locomotive is derailed after an explosion. The authorities said that there were no injuries. However, the route was initially closed.
There had already been several attacks on railway infrastructure in the past few days. In one case, a passenger train derailed. There were several deaths and injuries.
