Three Russian personnel are killed by debris after a Ukrainian drone is shot down over Engels military air base south east of Moscow, a Russian news agency says.
"There is absolutely no threat to residents. Civil infrastructure facilities were not damaged," Saratov Regional Governor Roman Busargin said.
The RBC-Ukraine news agency reported two explosions, while Russian news outlet Baza cited residents who heard air raid sirens and an explosion. Analysts said the strikes damaged Moscow's reputation and raised questions about its defence capabilities. In a statement by the ministry reported by Interfax news agency, crews trained in the use of the S-300V — a Soviet-built device that can track up to 30 kilometres high and 200 kilometres in range — were "mastering new position areas" of the Russian long-range, surface-to-air missile systems.
