Ukrainian drones struck a major Russian military depot and weapons store early yesterday, triggering an earthquake-sized explosion, according to multiple reports.
Kyiv claimed its attack had destroyed military warehouses in Toropets, a town in Russia’s Tver region about 240 miles northwest of Moscow and about 300 miles from the border with Ukraine. It was carried out by Ukraine’s Security Service, along with Ukrainian intelligence and Special Operations Forces.
A senior Kyiv official said the depot housed Iskander and Tochka-U missiles, as well as glide bombs and artillery shells. He said the facility caught fire in the strike and was burning across an area four miles wide.
