Kremlin propagandist Vladimir Solovyov is furious about the attacks on the infrastructure of the strategic aviation airfield in Engels.

According to Censor.NET, Solovyov was most angry at the "wreckage" of downed air targets, after which he had to fight fire at important military facilities for several days, and at Russian air defence, which "shoots down everything".

Earlier, the General Staff reported that on the night of January 14, the Ukrainian Defence Forces carried out a massive strike on the occupiers' military facilities at a distance of 200 to 1,100 km deep in the Russian Federation. Targets in the Bryansk, Saratov, Tula regions and the Republic of Tatarstan were hit.

On the night of 14 January, Ukrainian drones damaged at least one tank at the Saratov Oil Refinery. The refinery is located next to the Engels strategic aviation base, which houses Tu-95 and Tu-160 aircraft that the Russian army systematically uses to shell Ukrainian territory.

Later, the Ukrainian Defense Forces confirmed that the oil storage base "Combinat Kristal" in Engels, Russia, had been attacked.

On January 8, local authorities declared a state of emergency. On 13 January, local authorities announced the "extinguishment of outside fire" at the Engels oil depot.
