Ukrainian drones struck deep inside Russia in an attack targeting an oil facility serving a military airfield in the city of Engels, nearly 400 miles from the border, Ukraine’s military said Wednesday. Ukrainian officials reported a huge fire at the Kombinat Kristall oil depot, which provides fuel to the Engels-2 military airfield in the Saratov region, where Russia’s strategic bomber fleet is located. Images showed large balls of flames lighting up the night sky and plumes of smoke continuing to billow from the site. |
