“I thank everyone involved. Such precision is truly inspiring,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said.
A large-scale Ukrainian drone attack on Russia triggered an earthquake-sized blast at a major arsenal in the Tver region on Wednesday, forcing the evacuation of a nearby town, war bloggers and some media reported.
“The enemy hit an ammunition depot in the area of Toropets,” said Yuri Podolyaka, a Ukrainian-born, pro-Russian military blogger. “Everything that can burn is already burning there .” Two satellite images of an ammunition depot in Toropets, Russia, on Saturday, left, and the same ammunition depot in the aftermath of a large series of explosions.Igor Rudenya, governor of the Tver region, said that Ukrainian drones had been shot down, that a fire had broken out and that some residents were being evacuated. He did not say what was burning.“A fire started with explosions,” said the woman, who identified herself only as Irina.
A Toropets chatroom on the Russian social media site VK was flooded with messages of support from other parts of the country and offers of help to people fleeing the town.“People, does anyone know what’s happened to Kudino village??? They told me nothing is left of our house,” posted one woman.Some war bloggers asked how drones could trigger such large blasts at what was thought to be a highly fortified facility.
