Ukraine Launches Preemptive Strike on Engels-2 Airbase

Engels-2 Airbase Attack: Ukraine's Preemptive Strike. On June 6th, 2025, the Engels-2 Russian airbase was attacked. Initial reports suggest a preemptive strike by Ukrainian forces, targeting fuel supplies crucial for Russian long-range bombers. A world news reporter, Joey Contino, claims Ukraine used intelligence to anticipate a Russian attack, thus launching a counter-offensive. "Ukraine, knowing it was a logistics hub, hit it with drones," Contino stated. The attack resulted in significant fires and smoke, as seen in video footage. While the exact number of casualties remains unconfirmed, Contino suggests the strike potentially saved dozens of lives. However, Russia subsequently launched nearly 500 air targets into Ukraine, including drones and missiles; Ukraine successfully intercepted many. The incident underscores the escalating conflict and the strategic importance of airbases in modern warfare. Further investigation is needed to verify all claims and assess the full impact of the attack.
