The Ukrainian military reported on Wednesday that it successfully targeted a fuel storage depot deep inside Russia, resulting in a significant fire at the facility that serves a crucial Russian air base. The strike, which occurred near Engels in Russia's Saratov region, approximately 600 kilometers east of the Ukrainian border, disrupted the supply chain for an airfield utilized by Russian aircraft launching missiles into Ukraine.
Ukraine's General Staff disclosed that the assault was part of its efforts to counter Russian aggression, with the country enhancing its arsenal of domestically produced long-range missiles and drones capable of reaching deep into enemy territory. These attacks have posed logistical challenges for Russian forces and have been a source of embarrassment for the Kremlin.
