NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said that the alliance has no data on attacks on Russian airfields that have taken place. He announced this during an online speech at an event organized by the Financial Times.

“I have no information about these specific incidents. We see that Ukraine is in self-defense. We must take into account the context. We see daily Russian attacks on Ukrainian cities, the critical infrastructure of Ukraine,” the Secretary General said.

He noted that Ukraine, "of course, has the right to self-defense."

Earlier, a high-ranking Ukrainian official, in a conversation with the American newspaper Washington Post, stated that it was the Kyiv regime that was behind the attack on Russian airfields near Saratov, Ryazan and Kursk, although the Ukrainian authorities kept official silence.

Before that, it was reported that three people died at the airfield near Ryazan due to the explosion of a fuel tanker.

On December 5, the Telegram channel Baza reported that an unknown unmanned aerial vehicle attacked an airfield in the Saratov region of Russia. Governor of the Saratov Region Roman Busargin said that no emergencies had occurred in residential areas of the city, there were no reasons for concern, and civilian infrastructure facilities were intact.
