To spread: After the UAV attack in the Engels area, multiple explosions and secondary ammunition detonation were heard. Russian officials consider the attack on the city the largest during the war. The forces of Ukraine's defense could hit the warehouses with weapons and ammunition at the Russian aerodrome "Engels". This is written on the social network X Osint researchers. Analysts pay attention to multiple explosions and secondary ammunition detonation in Engels.

"In the morning, a mushroom cloud was seen in the city after the explosion, then there was a smell not typical of petroleum products," - said German expert on the analysis of open data Andy Schneider. The Russian authorities declare that it was the largest raid of drone on the city. "Engels, aerodrome. The sounds of secondary detonation, fast flies back and forth and are affected," said Supernova Telegram channel.

According to OSINT professionals, there were three strategic Tu-95MC bombers and two Tu-160 at the time of attack. In the morning, the transport IL-76 arrived at the base, probably delivering a new batch of missiles X-101. In addition, the aerodrome stores and served winged missiles of the type X-101 and X-55. The Defense Ezpress analysts team writes that the probable cause of a powerful secondary detonation was the fall of drones into the storage of rocket data.

Secondary detonation swept the surrounding building and damaged dozens of buildings. The video can hear explosions of ammunition for aviation, not fuel warehouses, experts indicate. Satellite images show transport containers for winged missiles, the number of which has decreased significantly during the war. After the impact of defense and detonation, the fragments flew within a radius of about 5 kilometers, which increases the likelihood of damage to the aircraft.

The governor of the Saratov region Roman Bussargin confirmed a massive attack by drones on Engels and Saratov and told about damage to about 30 private and country houses. The detonation of the composition is ongoing, the evacuation of people from the surrounding settlements is reported. The municipal level emergency regime was introduced, the governor said.
