Russia region orders evacuation after Ukraine drone attack | BBC News
A partial evacuation has been ordered in Russia’s Tver region after a “massive” Ukrainian drone attack sparked a fire there, the local governor has said.
Igor Rudenya said emergency services in the town of Toropets were trying to “localise” the blaze caused by falling drone wreckage. He did not say whether there were any casualties.
Unverified footage has emerged purportedly showing a massive blast in the town. Video footage circulating on social media showed detonations and smoke covering a large stretch of sky.
AFP and Reuters news agencies have quoted Ukrainian sources as saying an ammunitions warehouse had been struck.
The military site reportedly housed fuel tanks, as well as artillery shells, ballistic missiles, and explosives, in a series of warehouses. These are all weapons that have been used in Russia’s relentless full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

Sorry Ukraine but no missiles from Biden. He is too busy playing with his sippy cup.
That was the strangest pronunciation of the word 'depot' ice ever heard!
How Putin gonna retaliate, let’s see 😅
Yeah… Putin’s war is coming home.
whats a deep pot?
Is this guy a priest? who dressed him?
I know, right? Dee-pot? Ffs. Back to school🙄
Pleeeze stop emulating US newscasters w the hair, hair, hair everywhere. Even the eyebrows…ugh like teenage cheerleaders.
She should spend less time on her eyebrows and more time on her english.
Wow trump supporters must be so upset.😂
I see russia using nukes
That must make Putin a Despo
It doesn’t matter whether it’s due to war or extreme heat—Earth is burning everywhere. People don’t realize we’re heading toward something catastrophic. The last time something like this happened was during the Permian extinction, triggered by the Siberian Traps event. Back then, massive volcanic eruptions released huge amounts of CO₂ over thousands of years. Now, we're repeating the same process, but at a much, much much faster rate.
BBC slow on the draw, show's 'day after' pics ,they Missed the light show from the night before !!!🤣🤣 the biggest light show in 938 days BBC doesn't show it !
You’d think mastery of the English language would be a great way to get a job as a news presenter… but no, what you look like is clearly far more important these days. 😂
It's way over a1000 km from Ukraine to the target
❤😂 who is this receptionist? What is that thing? De-what? DE-POT?
Lady, it is a "DEHPOH"
Apparently the pronunciation of "depot" is the main takeaway from this video. Humanity is doomed 😂
Just make sure she doesnt report on the grand pirx. That would be awkward 😂
I think it's global warming.
This was bigger than Fat man.
Blackrock rubbing their hands.
So glad to see that the victim can fight back against the bully. The bully is never as strong as he thinks he is.
Russia's Vietnam. Only worse.
Wieso Evakuiert Russland dieses Gebiet? war da etwa Uran Munition am Start oder Atomsprengköpfe gelagert? Also ein Pilz ist bei der Detonation ist deutlich zu erkennen. 😁 👌 Hauptsache wir schenken dem Verrückten mit seinem korrupten Land noch mal 100 Millionen Winterhilfe
Did they have a nuclear bomb in their Jesus lol
Why not just withdraw from Ukraine instead?
How can Russia come back with a response, when a lot of their ammo, missiles and armaments have been blown up.
கண்ணாடி மாளிகையில் இருந்து கல் எறிந்தான் புட்டின் 😂😂😂😂 💙💛💙💛
US dirty politics, Russia aggression, Ukraine stupidity and adventures, spineless Europe have lead to disaster called " War".
Vote Trump, Vote MRGA (Make Russia Great Again).
PUTIN Master, Trump Slave.
👍👍👍👍👍👍💪💪💪💪💪💪
Hehehe, as if this will stop the war, Ukraine and the West are pathetic.
Russia is advancing in the Donbass region & taking Kursk back that is fact, reality, important.
`dee pot` is bewildering.
It' a BBC drone attack
Really BBC? Dee-pot 😅
Should be Dee-pow,
what the heck, how come a global news channel got this common word pronounce incorrectly?
So are we to blame global warming on Ukraine or is it politically incorrect
…because of a ruSSian escalation….they are escalating every day, what the hell are we, the West, waiting for, I mean, do they – NATO/US really still believe in all this really boring ruSSian threats, I mean, seriously??!!!
the climate and the environment thank you…
Yes, let’s pretend that Ukraine is actually firing, guiding and identifying these targets and not the US. Let’s pretend a war over Russian speaking areas of Ukraine that already voted to return to Russia is worth 700k dead and generations of debt and US ownership of infrastructure, minerals and farmland to the Ukrainian people and that this isn’t really a US war being fought with someone else’s children for US profit.
Thank you America for making this possible!
No smoking dammit!😂😂😂
Depot lol
I think she eats pets also.

Putin has to watch the BBC to enjoy the show because Russiya 1 is not allowed to talk about it.
