Arms depot in southwestern Russia on fire after Ukrainian drone attack | VOA News

An ammunition depot and missile arsenal in southwestern Russia caught fire in an attack Saturday in the Krasnodar region of Russia, triggering evacuations after the blaze caused a series of blasts.

The depot appeared to be just kilometers from another that was struck by Ukrainian drones early Wednesday, injuring 13 people and also causing a huge fire.

Russian authorities on Saturday closed a 100-kilometer stretch of a highway and evacuated passengers from a nearby rail station after the fire caused a series of explosions.

Posts on the messaging app Telegram said a missile depot was struck near the town of Toropets, in Russia’s Tver region, about 380 kilometers northwest of Moscow and about 500 kilometers from the Ukrainian border.

  1. Neither Vladimir Putin nor Xi Jinping will use nuclear weapons to provoke the fatal nuclear strikes from the West, because the dictators are obsessed with power because power brings them privileges, and they want to use their privileges to enjoy their luxurious life, however the nuclear war is to let them die together with the poor. This is definitely what they are unwilling to do and what they are afraid of.

  2. You guys realize this can start war between Russia and the United States right even within all of NATO too, WW3 (NUCLEAR)? No one will survive. There needs to be negations involved. Ukraine is nothing compared to Russia. We are responsible for giving them arms. Ukraine isn't even a democracy Zelinskey is a dictator.

  3. Meanwhile In the kremlin. Top generals all they are probably doing is giving each other medals. to show to the subordinates & peasants that they are winning their so called military operation👌🖕💩
