The Hindu  

An airfield near a Russian strategic bomber base was on fire on Thursday after a major Ukrainian drone attack in southern Russia, according to Russian officials and state media. The base in Engels, about 700 km from the front lines in Ukraine, hosts Russia's Tupolev Tu-160 nuclear capable heavy strategic bombers. Russia-Ukraine war LIVE updates Roman Busargin, the governor of Saratov, said there had been a Ukrainian drone attack on the town of Engels that had left an airfield on fire and that nearby residents had been evacuated. Russia's defence ministry said air defences had shot down 132 Ukrainian drones over six different regions in southern Russia, including 54 in the Saratov region where the Engels base is located.
