A Russian strategic bomber commander was reportedly shot in Engels, the Saratov-region city hosting the Engels-2 air base and fleets of Tu-95MS and Tu-160 aircraft. The incident was reported by Ukrainian and military-focused outlets, but details about the officer’s identity, condition and circumstances remained unclear. Engels has repeatedly been targeted by Ukrainian drone operations because its bombers launch cruise-missile attacks against Ukraine. Authorities in Moscow had not publicly confirmed the shooting or named suspects as investigations into the incident continued.
