A fire broke out in a 6 km area after a Ukrainian drone attack in Russia.
Ukraine has carried out a major drone attack on a Russian arms depot. News agency Reuters quoted Ukraine’s State Security Service as saying that this attack was carried out in Russia’s Tver region. Many missiles, bombs and ammunition were present here.
According to Al Jazeera, the drone attack caused a huge explosion in the warehouse of the Russian Defense Ministry’s main weapons depot in the city of Toropets. It housed ballistic missiles for the Iskander missile system. Apart from this, Tochka-U tactical missile system and many guided bombs were present here.
According to BBC, after the attack, a fire broke out in an area of 6 km. During this time, mild earthquake tremors were also felt. A Ukrainian official has claimed on social media that apart from Russia’s own weapons, missiles received from North Korea were also present at the place where the drone attack took place.
The footage is from Russia’s Tver region, where earthquakes were also felt after the attack on the arms depot.
Russia claims – 54 Ukrainian drones were shot down Ukraine’s intelligence and special operation forces carried out this attack together. Meanwhile, Russia’s Defense Ministry has claimed that it has shot down 54 Ukrainian drones overnight. However, no information has been revealed yet about the extent of damage caused in the attack.
Russia’s state news agency RIA reported in 2018 that Russia has built a large weapons depot to store its missiles, bombs and ammunition. It was built in 2015 for Rs 326 crore.
Ukraine wants to attack further into Russia Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky now wants to attack further inside Russia. According to news agency Reuters, he is also pressuring the US for help in this. Zelensky released a video on August 31 stating that on August 30, Russia carried out an airstrike on Kharkiv, in which 6 Ukrainians were killed. 97 people were injured.
Zelensky had said that these attacks can be stopped only when Ukraine targets Russian airfields and military bases. We are discussing this with our allies every day. We are trying to convince them for this. However, the US has not yet allowed Ukraine to use long-range weapons to attack Russia.
In the two and a half year long Russia-Ukraine war, for the first time on 6 August 2024, Ukraine entered Russia and captured its Kursk region. Since then Ukraine has been continuously attacking Russia. According to RT’s report, 31 Russian citizens have lost their lives in Ukraine’s attacks in 20 days.
Iskander ballistic missile In 2006, Russia launched the Iskander ballistic missile. It is used for short range. It carries a warhead used to destroy large buildings and military bases.
After being released from its place, it goes up rapidly, then due to gravitational force it comes down and destroys the enemy. Russia is using 9K720 Iskander ballistic missile. The range of this missile is 500 kilometers. It can carry 700 kilograms of explosives.
