In a daring move, Ukraine launched a massive drone attack on a Russian arsenal in the Tver region, resulting in a catastrophic explosion similar to an earthquake. The attack, led by Ukrainian forces, caused a massive fireball and multiple detonations, leading to the evacuation of a nearby town.
Reports suggest that the arsenal targeted in Toropets was holding 30 thousand tons of missiles and ammunition worth $200 billion. The attack claimed the lives of at least 10 Russian soldiers guarding the facility.
Ukrainian President Zelensky praised the operation without explicitly mentioning the attack, highlighting the success of the military activity on Russian soil. NASA satellites detected intense heat and seismic activity in the area, confirming the impact of the assault.
The incident raised questions about the security measures at the fortified facility, as locals expressed shock and disbelief at the scale of the explosion. While Russia reported defending against numerous drone attacks, Ukraine claimed success in neutralizing Russian aggression.
