Including the attacks on Engels Air Force Base and Diaghilevo Air Force Base yesterday, this is the second consecutive day that three military airports have been attacked.

The Russian Ministry of Defense said on the 5th that 3 people were killed and 4 were injured in the 2 incidents on Monday, and 2 Tu-95 bombers were damaged, accusing Uzbekistan of being behind the attacks.

Although Kyiv did not admit it, if the Russian accusation is true, it will be the deepest attack by the Ukrainian army since it was invaded on February 24. The Engel base is only a few hours' drive from the capital Moscow; some Russian commentators said , if the Ukrainian army can go deep into Russia to such an extent, it may also be able to attack Moscow directly.

The British Ministry of Defense said on Twitter today that the Engels Air Force Base that was attacked yesterday is the main base of the Russian long-range bomber fleet in the west of the country. If the Russian official assesses that the explosion was a deliberate attack by Uzbekistan, it will admit that some bombers were bombed If it is destroyed, it means that this is a major strategic failure in the protection of bombers since Russia invaded Ukraine. The Russian command system may find a way to find out the cause and hold accountable, and severely punish the Russian officials who should be responsible for this incident.
