A short video circulating on social media appears to capture the sounds of these explosions, adding to the growing concerns about the ongoing conflict. The video, titled "Engels 06.06.2025 Obstanivka," shows a dark, nighttime scene with indistinct shapes in the background. The audio, however, is clear and distinctly shows the sounds of explosions. The timing and location are significant, given Engels' proximity to military installations and its role in Russia's ongoing military operations in Ukraine.

Further investigation is needed to determine the exact cause of the explosions and their impact on the region.
