The oil depot of the 'Crystal' plant in the Russian city of Engels, Saratov region, has been burning for the fourth consecutive day. Governor Roman Busargin reported that the area of the fire has significantly decreased, but rescue services and specialists continue to work on extinguishing it.
On the night of January 14, Ukrainian drones attacked the oil depot.
It should be noted that on the night of January 14, Ukrainian forces also struck the infrastructure of the Russian military airfield 'Engels-2', where Tu-95MS and Tu-160 aircraft are based. According to preliminary reports, the airfield was completely destroyed.
This is not the first case of a fire at the oil product base in Engels as a result of a drone attack. A similar fire occurred on the night of January 8 as well. This was accompanied by smog, which local residents complained about. However, the Russian military dismissed any allegations of environmental pollution.
