YouTube Description
as posted by the channelA drone attack targeted on Tuesday a Russian airfield in the border Kursk region, setting fire to an oil storage tank, the region's governor announced. Roman Starovoyt, the governor of the Kursk region bordering Ukraine, said on the Telegram messaging app that no casualties were reported following Tuesday's attack, adding that the fire was "localized." The attack comes one day after attacks on two military airfields deep inside Russian territory which killed three soldiers and injured four others. Russia blamed Ukraine for the attack on the Dyagilevo airfield in the Ryazan region and the Engels airfield in the Saratov region. Ukraine did not claim responsibility for the attacks, but if Russia's accusations are true, it would be the deepest Ukrainian attack inside Russia since the war started on February 24. The Saratov region is at least 600 km (370 miles) from the nearest Ukrainian border. Many commentators and analysts have suggested that this would mean the Ukrainian forces are capable of hitting Moscow. The Reuters news agency cited Ukrainian military analyst Serhiy Zgurets as saying that the Dyagilevo and Engels airfields struck on Monday were the only facilities capable of fully servicing bombers used to launch attacks on Ukraine. The Engels airfield is home to several of Russia's large nuclear-capable strategic bombers the Tu-95 and Tu-160.
Russia's invasion of Ukraine has caused a devastating loss of life, but both sides have been secretive about how many of their soldiers have died. Civilian casualties are also impossible to state with any certainty. Why is it so hard to get an clear count?
