The front line between Russian and Ukrainian troops runs around 30 kilometers south of the city. Glide bombs are still being dropped by Russian fighter jets over Russian-controlled territory and then guided to the target. There is hardly any defense for the attacked cities or military positions.
The night before, there had been reciprocal drone attacks. Ukraine targeted an important military base in Russia, hundreds of kilometers from the border. The two neighboring cities of Engels and Saratov on the Volga were the target of a "mass attack with drones" on Wednesday night, according to regional governor Roman Bussargin. Bussargin wrote on Telegram that falling debris had hit an industrial plant in Engels. A fire had broken out at the company as a result of the drone attack.
Ukrainian attack on important oil depot
Bussargin later announced the declaration of a state of emergency in Engels. Two firefighters had died while fighting the fires. Bussargin spoke of an industrial plant that had been hit, without giving details. Ukraine named an oil depot that supplies Russian nuclear bombers as the target of the attack.
According to UN figures, more than 12,300 civilians have been killed in Ukraine since the start of the Russian war of aggression almost three years ago. In recent months, the number of victims has risen in particular due to the increased use of drones, longer-range missiles and glide bombs, said the United Nations Deputy High Commissioner for Human Rights, Nada Al-Nashif, on Wednesday. She was referring to developments since September.
