Ukrainian drone sparks fire at Russian Engels-2 airbase
A reported overnight drone strike has caused a fire at Russia's Engels-2 airbase, which houses strategic bombers used for regular cruise missile attacks against Ukraine.
An overnight drone strike has reportedly caused a fire at the Russian Engels-2 airbase. This airbase is home to strategic bombers that Russia regularly uses to launch cruise missile attacks on Ukrainian cities and infrastructure.
The full extent of the damage remains unclear. Engels-2 is located deep within Russian territory, far from the front lines, and serves as one of Russia's key strategic aviation bases. It has been targeted by Ukrainian drone attacks in the past.
The incident demonstrates Ukraine's capability to strike deep inside Russian territory using unmanned aerial vehicles. Russia frequently uses this base to conduct massive missile strikes against Ukraine's energy and civilian infrastructure, especially during the winter months.
