According to Russian and Ukrainian media, the fire was reportedly caused by a drone attack by Ukrainian forces. The region is about 750 km from the Ukrainian border.
Saratov Governor Roman Bussargin said a large-scale drone attack by Ukraine was carried out at around 5:30 a.m., and some drones fell into unspecified facilities.
Local residents said there were more than 20 explosions and drone attacks.
While the exact extent of the damage is unknown, Bussargin said no injuries were reported in the attack.
On the other hand, Russia's Ministry of Defense claimed to have shot down all 11 Ukrainian attack drones over Saratov.
Video posted on social media shows a large explosion in an oil storage as Russian air defenses attempt to shoot down a Ukrainian drone captured over the city.
Meanwhile, the Engels area is one of the main targets of Ukrainian drone attacks.
This is because there is an air base where Russian fighters and bombers are deployed.
