- Video shows enormous explosion at Russian ammunition depot that Ukraine says housed munitions from North Korea (newsbreak.com)
Ukrainian forces launched a daring strike on a major Russian ammunition depot in Krasnodar Krai, resulting in a massive explosion captured on video.
The strike, near Tikhoretsk, targeted a depot containing a significant amount of munitions, including those from North Korea. The Ukrainian military estimated that 2,000 tons of ammunition were destroyed.
Russian Governor Veniamin Kondratyev confirmed the attack, stating that two Ukrainian drones had been involved. He reported that 1,200 residents were evacuated, but there were no casualties among civilians.
The strike is part of Ukraine’s ongoing strategy to target Russian munitions facilities. In recent weeks, Ukrainian forces have successfully hit similar targets in Tver and Toropets.
Experts believe that these strikes could force Russia to adjust its logistics and support systems to minimize the impact of future attacks.
