Two major explosions were reported deep inside Russia at military bases housing nuclear-capable bombers, according to local media reports Monday that said at least three people were killed in the blasts.
The explosions took place at installations hundreds of miles from the Ukraine border and involved bases that the Russian military has used for launching attacks against Ukraine.
Two Russian Tu-95 long-range strategic nuclear bombers were damaged by a drone that fell on the runway at the Engels airfield in western Russia’s Saratov region, according to The Moscow Times, which cited a local news channel report relying on unnamed sources.
