A Ukrainian drone strike triggered a massive explosion at a Russian ammunition depot in the Tver region, 380 km west of Moscow. The blast, equivalent to 200-240 tons of high explosives, forced the evacuation of nearby residents, with NASA satellites detecting intense heat. Ukrainian sources claim the attack destroyed a warehouse containing missiles and artillery. Russian state media, under military censorship, confirmed drones were shot down and a fire had broken out. War bloggers questioned the facility’s security measures. No casualties have been reported yet.
