Explosions at two military airfields in Russia, casualties are reported

Several people have been killed in explosions at two Russian military airfields, according to reports.

A fuel tanker exploded, killing three and injuring six people at an airport near the city of Ryazan, southeast of Moscow, Russian state media reported.

Two more people were reportedly injured in an explosion at an airport in the Saratov region.

It is not known what caused the explosions. Both areas are hundreds of kilometers away from the border with Ukraine.

The Russian long-range strategic bombers are believed to be based at the Engels Air Base in the Saratov region.

Saratov's regional governor said security forces were checking what he called "reports of an incident at military installations."

These reports, about two explosions in two different military countries, will encourage speculation that Ukraine may be behind them, says the BBC's Russian editor , Steven Rosenberg.
