Recall that on the night of December 26, at the Russian airfield in Engels, where there are bombers that the invaders use to terrorize Ukraine, explosions thundered again - for the second time in a month and since the beginning of a full-scale war. After some time, the Ministry of Defense of the aggressor country announced three dead soldiers and four wounded.
The first explosions at the airfield, which is located 700 km from the Ukrainian border, sounded on December 5. Then, and now, Russia blames Ukraine. But Kyiv does not confirm this.
