Ukraine war: Drone attack on Russian bomber base leaves three dead
26 December 2022
A Ukrainian drone attack on Engels bomber base in south Russia has left three people dead, Moscow says.
Air defences reportedly shot down the drone but falling debris caused the casualties in the overnight attack.
Russia accuses Ukraine of carrying out a similar attack on the airfield, home to strategic bombers, on 5 December. The base lies about 500km (310 miles) north-east of the border with Ukraine.
The Ukrainian military has not officially commented on those attacks.
