Kursk Governor Roman Starovoy said in a Telegram post that the drone attack ignited an oil reservoir in the area of Kursk airport and the blaze was being contained by crews at the scene.<\/p>\n<p>Ukrainian officials have not formally confirmed carrying out the drone attacks, maintaining their <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>arent policy of deliberate ambiguity as they have done in the past when it comes to high-profile attacks on Russian targets.<\/p>\n<p>Presidential adviser Mikhail Podolyak taunted Moscow in comments on <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf something is launched into other countries\u2019 airspace, sooner or later unknown flying objects will return to the point of departure,\u201d Podolyak wrote. \u201cThe earth is round.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The unprecedented attacks in Russia \u2014 more than 500 kilometers (300 miles) from the border with Ukraine \u2014 threatened a major escalation of the nine-month war. One of the airfields houses bombers capable of carrying nuclear weapons.<\/p>\n<p>The attacks also exposed the vulnerability of some of Russia\u2019s most strategic military sites, raising questions about the effectiveness of their air defenses.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Strikes inflicted serious reputational damage on Moscow<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Russia&#8217;s Defense Ministry said three Russian servicemen were killed and four others wounded by debris, and that two aircraft were slightly damaged.<\/p>\n<p>The ministry didn\u2019t say where the drones had originated. But Russian military bloggers said they likely were launched by Ukrainian scouts, and argued that the strikes had inflicted serious reputational damage on Moscow.<\/p>\n<p>The attacks on the Engels base in the Saratov region on the Volga River and the Dyagilevo base in the Ryazan region in western Russia were part of Ukraine\u2019s efforts to curtail Russia\u2019s long-range bomber force, the ministry said.<\/p>\n<p>The Engels base hosts Tu-95 and Tu-160 nuclear-capable strategic bombers that have been involved in strikes on Ukraine. Dyagilevo houses tanker aircraft used for mid-air refueling.<\/p>\n<p>In a daily intelligence update on the war in Ukraine, Britain\u2019s Defense Ministry said Russia was likely to consider the base attacks as \u201csome of the most strategically significant failures of force protection since its invasion of Ukraine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It said the bombers would likely be dispersed to other airfields.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Russia sees no prospects for peace talks now<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that Russian authorities will \u201ctake the necessary measures\u201d to enhance protection of key facilities in view of the latest Ukrainian attacks.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking in a conference call with reporters Tuesday, Peskov said that \u201cthe Ukrainian regime\u2019s course for continuation of such terror attacks poses a threat.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Peskov reaffirmed that Russia sees no prospects for peace talks now, adding that \u201cthe Russian Federation must achieve its stated goals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Russia, meanwhile, maintained intense attacks on Ukrainian territory, shelling towns overnight near the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant that left more than 9,000 homes without running water, local Ukrainian officials said.<\/p>\n<p>The towns lie across the Dnieper river from the nuclear plant, which was seized by Russian forces in the early stages of the war. Russia and Ukraine have for months accused each other of shelling at and around the plant.<\/p>\n<p>The head of Ukraine\u2019s northern Sumy region, which borders Russia, said that Moscow launched over 80 missile and heavy artillery attacks on its territory. Governor Dmytro Zhyvytsky said the strikes damaged a monastery near the border town of Shalyhyne.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
