In the early hours of Tuesday (11 February), explosions were reported in the Russian cities of Engels and Saratov, both located in the Saratov region. Russian residents claimed the blasts were caused by a drone attack, as reported by local Telegram channels. The attack reportedly set off alarms, waking many residents, while gunfire was also heard near Engels. Preliminary reports suggested that several aerial targets were intercepted and destroyed.
According to the SHOT and Mash channels, at least 11 explosions were heard over Engels around 4 a.m. (local time). A video published by SHOT appeared to capture one of the explosions. In Saratov, residents reported a fire breaking out near the local oil refinery following the blasts. No official statements have been released regarding the damage or casualties from either location.
At the same time, unidentified drones reportedly targeted Krasnodar and the Afipsky oil refinery in the Krasnodar region. The Afipsky refinery is a crucial oil processing facility in Russia, with an annual capacity of 6.25 million tons of oil. According to Andrii Kovalenko, head of the Ukrainian Center for Countering Disinformation, this facility plays a strategic role in supplying fuel to military equipment.
While Russian authorities have not provided official confirmation, these incidents highlight growing concerns over aerial attacks on key infrastructure. The explosions in Engels and Saratov, along with the reported attacks in Krasnodar, indicate a potential escalation in drone warfare. Residents in affected areas remain on high alert as tensions continue to rise.
