In the early hours of June 6, the Ukrainian Defense Forces conducted strikes on multiple critical military targets within Russian territory.

This information was reported by Telegram channels and confirmed by local residents on social media.

At approximately 3:00 a.m., unmanned aerial vehicles targeted a fuel storage facility at the Rosrezerv’s Kristall plant in Engels, the Saratov Oblast, which supplies fuel to Russian strategic bomber aircraft.

This fuel storage facility specifically supplies the nearby Engels-2 military airbase. It is from here that Russian Tu-95MS and Tu-160 strategic bombers take off for missile strikes against Ukraine.

As a result of the drone strikes, several fuel tanks caught fire. The Russian authorities have yet to contain the blaze. Local eyewitnesses are sharing numerous videos on social media showing the fire and thick black smoke visible for many kilometers.
