In the evening, in the area of the Engels airfield in the Saratov region, local residents were alarmed by loud sounds and bright flashes. At first, rumors appeared about a possible attack by Ukrainian drones, which caused panic among the population, but later it became known that the cause of the commotion was fireworks launched by unknown persons in the city.
Reports of the potential threat quickly spread through social media and local media. With the ongoing conflict and the increasing number of drone attacks, such events can easily cause anxiety. This is especially true for residents of the region, which has previously seen incidents related to the attack on the strategic airfield "Engels", where Russian strategic bombers are based.
However, footage soon emerged confirming that fireworks were being launched in Engels, which was the cause of the noise and bright flashes.
