According to reports of the Ukrainian Pravda portal, the raid of Ukrainian drones led to the spread of fire in the oil magazine located in the Russian city of Engels. The attack took place on the night of June 5-6.
Russia confirms the fire in Engels. Thick smoke over the fuel composition
The facility on which the attack was carried out is an important fuel supply point used to support Russian long -range aviation, including bombers regularly used by Russia to bomb Ukrainian cities with maneuvering missiles.
Governor of the Saratov District Roman Busargin confirmed the fire, but did not specify what was burning.
“As a result of the UAV attack, there was a fire in one of the industrial plants in Engels,” Busargin wrote on Telegram.
However, many photos and recordings have been made available on websites that present dense clouds of smoke over the Russian fuel storage.
A similar attack in the same place occurred at the beginning of January 2024. At that time, the fuel depots burned for the next few days.
