Overnight, the Russian military airbase in Engels, Saratov region, came under attack by strike drones.
This airfield hosts strategic Tu-95MS bombers, armed with X-101 missiles, which Russia uses to attack Ukrainian cities.

⚡️Zelensky has signed a law to create a new structure within the Armed Forces of Ukraine — Unmanned Systems Forces
Financial Times Report September 14.
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer left Washington after talks with President Joe Biden on Friday amid signs the US may be prepared to shift its position on the use of long-range missiles by Ukraine in the coming days.
Although the meeting between the two leaders ended without an announcement, there were indications that Biden might be willing to let the UK allow Ukraine to use their Storm Shadow missiles, which rely on American navigational data and other technology.
“This wasn’t about a particular decision . . . we’ll obviously pick it up again at the UN General Assembly, in just a few days’ time with a wider group of individuals,” Starmer told reporters after the meeting.
Some officials predicted Washington would ultimately allow Ukraine to use the American-provided, ground-launched Army Tactical Missile System, or ATACMS.
The US has been reluctant to provide the weapons despite persistent requests by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky over fears their deployment could escalate the conflict with Russia.
“There is no change to our view on the provision of long-range strike capabilities for Ukraine to use inside Russia, and I wouldn’t expect any sort of major announcement in that regard coming out of the discussions,” US National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said before Friday’s summit.

Kyiv is trying to replenish the ranks of its army as the war stretches into its third year, including by enticing emigrants to return to Ukraine.
Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski proposed on Friday (13 September) to “stop paying social security payments for people who are eligible for the Ukrainian draft”.
Some men fled Ukraine to avoid being drafted, despite an official ban on leaving the country that applies to most men of fighting age.
Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiga said he would “support” the idea, but that it needed the “appropriate conditions”.
He added there were about a million men of mobilisation age abroad, including 300,000 in Poland.
The statements were made on Friday but the conference was embargoed until Saturday for security reasons.
