At least three people were killed and several injured in explosions at two military airfields in the European part of Russia. “An unidentified drone attacked an airfield in the Saratov region,” Baza said on Monday. Two people needed to be taken to the hospital. Around the same time, according to local media reports, a gasoline truck detonated on the runway in the Ryazan region, south of Moscow.
Three people were reportedly killed and five injured. Six people were injured, according to the Ria Novosti news agency. Initially there was no information about the cause of the explosion in Ryazan. It is said that a plane was damaged there. According to the report, two machines were also damaged at Engels-2 Airport near Saratov.
Bombers for Russian Missile Strikes
The aircraft at Saratov would be T-95 strategic bombers. These bombers are used in Russian missile attacks on Ukraine. In recent weeks, Ukraine’s power infrastructure has been massively damaged by these attacks.
In the past, Kyiv has admitted attacks on several air bases on the Crimean peninsula, annexed to Russia. It was initially unclear who was behind the recent explosions.
