Ukrainian drones struck Russia's Saratov region overnight, damaging a residential building and sparking a fire at a military airfield in Engels, Meduza reports. Roman Busargin, the region's governor, said a drone attack hit civilian infrastructure but reported no casualties. Independent monitoring channels said one drone struck an upper floor of a multistory apartment complex about two kilometers from the Engels-2 airfield, where a separate fire broke out. Russia's Defense Ministry said its air defenses downed three hundred seventy-five drones across eighteen regions, according to Meduza, part of a near-daily campaign that Ukraine says targets military and industrial sites.
