The Russian military has shot down a Ukrainian drone above the Russian army base Engels, several hundred kilometers from the front line in Ukraine. In early December, this base also came under Ukrainian fire.
Three soldiers were killed by falling debris from the drone. It’s the second attack on the army base this month. The three soldiers worked in the technical service of the air base in the Russian region of Saratov.

On December 5, the military airbase was also hit by a Ukrainian drone strike, according to Russia. The Russian ministry said in its statement that aviation equipment at the base was not damaged.
However, according to Ukrainian social media reports, some planes were actually damaged. Reuters news agency could not independently verify the reports.
Dozens of missiles on Ukraine
The Ukrainian military reports that Russia has carried out a total of more than 40 rocket attacks against Ukraine. Dozens of villages in Luhansk, Donetsk, Kharkov, Kherson and Zaporizhia regions were reportedly shelled. Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelensky had already warned of possible Russian attacks during the holiday season. Ukrainian troops say they attacked 20 Russian targets.
