00:01. The explosion of the ammunition depot hit by the Ukrainians was visible from space
Ukrainian drones destroyed an ammunition depot in Russia’s western Tver Oblast, a source in Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU) told AFP on Wednesday. NASA satellite photos showed the huge explosion was visible even from space.
Drones destroyed a warehouse in Toropec where ballistic missiles and guided bombs, among others, were stored, the source said.
In addition to the huge explosion recorded by NASA, tools that measure the movements of tectonic plates recorded earthquakes measuring 2.8 on the Richter scale.
As reported by the British newspaper “The Telegraph”, the ammunition warehouse may contain, among others: North Korean missiles and Russian guided bombs.
The Ukrainian side assessed that the strike would affect Russia’s offensive capabilities.
Russian local authorities have ordered the evacuation of the Toropets districts adjacent to the military area.
Authorities in the Zapadnodwiński district (district), neighboring the Toropiec district, have announced that there will be no electricity in part of the district and that classes at school and kindergarten will be held online.
