Russia does not stop even on holidays/ Attacks in Ukraine, 3 people die

Russia said on Monday it shot down a Ukrainian drone near a Russian air base and reported that three people were killed in the incident.

The drone was reportedly flying near Russia's Engels Air Base, home to long-range strategic bombers that may have been used to attack Ukrainian cities and infrastructure. No aircraft were damaged, the Defense Ministry said in a statement carried by Russian news agencies.

However, a number of unverified Russian and Ukrainian accounts reported on social media that a number of planes had been destroyed. The Reuters news agency has not been able to independently verify these reports.

The air base, which is one of two strategic bases housing Russia's nuclear capability, is located near the city of Saratov, about 730 kilometers southeast of Moscow and hundreds of kilometers from the front line in Ukraine.

There was no immediate reaction from Ukraine, but official Kiev has never publicly taken responsibility for the attacks inside Russia. Ukraine calls them "karma" for launching the invasion on February 24.

The same airbase was attacked once again at the beginning of this month by Ukrainian drones, according to Russia./ REL
