Explosions at Russian airbases
At the same time, a Russian airbase, home base of strategic bombers used for strikes against Ukraine, hit by suspected attack with drones that damaged two long-range bombers
According to unofficial Ukrainian sources, the airbase engels-2near the city of Saratovwas hit by an explosion at dawn on Monday that left two bombers damaged Tu-95which have been used to carry out airstrikes against Ukrainian infrastructure.
Another explosion hit a Russian military base near the city of ryazanlocated about 200 kilometers from the capital, Moscow, killing three people and injuring five after a fuel truck detonated.
Sources of the emergency services quoted by the Russian news agency TASS reported that the event resulted in five injured, two of whom are in serious condition, without for the moment there being any details about the causes of the event.
engels-2 Y ryazan are between 480 and 700 miles from the Ukrainian border, beyond the range of missiles from kyivwhich means that the alleged attack was likely carried out by a drone.
Hours before the explosions, the Ukrainian arms firm Ukrobonoprom he claimed to have successfully tested a suicide drone with a 165-pound warhead that would be capable of hitting both locations.
The explosions came after satellite images last week showed bombers at the air base in Engels preparing for an attack on Ukraine.

the russian medium M.K. said the Ryazan fuel tank explosion also caused damage to one plane.
The Russian media readovka it said both explosions occurred at airfields used by Moscow to attack Ukrainian infrastructure.
The report readovka confirmed that two Tu-95 aircraft they suffered damage.
The Russian Defense Ministry did not comment on the events.
Since the fire at the Central Research Institute of the Aerospace Defense Forces in Tver on April 21, which killed at least 17 people, social media has jumped on every report of a fire somewhere in Russia, especially in sensitive locations, as a sign that the country is under covert attacks.
No one claims responsibility for these events, but analysts say at least some of the incidents point to an attempt by kyiv to bring the war to its invaders’ territory.
Hits the price of oil
Both explosions occur on the day that the Russian oil price cap decided by the Western powers.
This Monday the Kremlin assured that the measure will not have an impact on Moscow’s offensive in Ukraine.
“The economy of the Russian Federation has all the necessary capabilities to fully respond to the needs and requirements of the special military operation. These measures will have no impact,” the Kremlin spokesman told reporters. Dmitry Peskov.
The spokesman was referring to the ceiling that the European Unionthe countries of the G7 Y Australia adopted against Russian oil in order to hurt Moscow economically.
The mechanism adopted provides that only Russian oil sold at a price equal to or less than $60 a barrel.
The price of a barrel of Ural crude oil is currently trading around 65 dollars, slightly above the adopted ceiling, which should come into force as of this Monday.
The purpose of this new sanction is deprive Moscow of a part of the voluminous revenue that it obtains from the sale of its hydrocarbons, and decrease its ability to finance the war effort in Ukraine.
Peskov added that these measures will have “perhaps an impact on the stability of the world energy market”and considered that they are “a step towards its destabilization”.
As he also said, Moscow is already “preparing” reprisals by this cap on the price of its oil.
The activation of the cap coincides with the entry into force this Monday of the EU embargo on Russian oil imports by sea.
The Kremlin warned that it will not deliver more oil to countries that adopt the price cap mechanism, a position reiterated on Sunday by the Deputy Prime Minister in charge of Energy, Alexander Novak.
novakquoted by Russian agencies, stated that his country is working on “mechanisms” to “prohibit the use” of the price limitation tool.
“Similar interference can only cause a greater destabilization of the market, and a shortage of energy resources,” argued the leader.
