Both sides of the war between Russia and Ukraine are taking hits, as explosions rocked two Russian air bases on Monday, and multiple Ukrainian cities sustained damage from missiles, the Wall Street Journal reported.
One explosion was at a Russian base near Engels, a city in the Russian region of Saratov, with regional Governor Roman Busargin saying authorities were looking into the matter, according to the Journal. The other explosion occurred when a fuel tanker blew up at an airfield in Ryazan.
No civilians were hurt in the Engels blast, Busargin said, while Russian state-run news agency RIA Novosti said at least three people were killed in the Ryazan explosion.
