Russian authorities claim their air defenses brought down 132 Ukrainian UAVs overnight across six regions, including 54 around Saratov. Despite the large-scale downings, the assault triggered property damage to a hospital, two kindergartens, a local school, and about 30 homes. Images circulated by the Astra Telegram channel show thick plumes of smoke from about six miles west of the airfield. Located roughly 500 kilometers east of the Ukraine border, Engels-2 has been repeatedly targeted since the 2022 invasion—significant for housing nuclear-capable bombers used to stage missile attacks on Ukraine. Local officials say some residents near the farming co-op were evacuated for safety. Russia’s Defense Ministry condemned the strikes, highlighting the growing threat posed by Ukrainian drones penetrating deep into Russian territory. #shorts VUN4O3uHpBP 8nHWQDSJ5ly ExXOhsa8kuX E4ysyA55wnT 33HjjO7Q5Ia 52GfRcOGImD s6mw0f7Yimr
