Drones attacked a Russian ammunition depot in Toropovets, Tver region, in early hours on Thursday with locals reporting multiple explosions in the area following the detonation of munitions. As flames engulfed the depot, local authorities though tried to play down the claims saying that it was caused by drones’ debris after they were shot down by Russian air defenses.
Videos emerging on social media show loud blasts and a massive fire lighting up the night sky. With the fire spreading, local authorities announced the evacuation of civilians from the impacted area to the town of Zapadnaya Dvina. Locals complain the evacuation effort is a mess as many elderly residents are struggling to reach assembly points.
Cut off by the fire, residents of Tsikaryevo have gathered near a local lake, waiting for evacuation. However, there are not enough boats to safely evacuate everyone. This village lies right across from the depots of a military unit.
The explosions allegedly caused massive damage, shattering windows in local businesses and the emergency medical center due as blasts continue.
According to reports, the depot had stockpiles of 122mm Grad rocket artillery shells and 82mm artillery mines. It was also believed to house a range of missiles like well as S-300 and S-400 missiles, Iskander ballistic missiles, and even North Korean KN23 missiles.
To commemorate the third anniversary of the full-scale invasion, “Bukvy” has compiled data on the largest donors supporting the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Among them there are charitable foundations and businesses. The list includes, in particular, foundations that provide assistance exclusively from their own resources, without fundraising (such as SCM by Rinat Akhmetov, Epicenter, etc.).
In just 1.5 months, Ukrainian specialists have created an innovative protective shell for the control modules of anti-aircraft missile systems (AMS) Patriot and Iris-T SLM. This development was another step in strengthening Ukraine’s defense capabilities, aimed at protecting key elements of the air defense system from debris damage.
Military serviceman of the International Legion for the Defense of Ukraine with the call sign “Paradox” is the crew commander of the American M113 armored personnel carrier. He is a master at using it and is constantly improving, because the legionnaire’s skills are tested every day in battle. You have to drive to the front lines, often under artillery fire and drone attacks.
Notorious supporter of the concept “in order for a cow to eat less and give more milk, it needs to be fed less and milked more” “Servant of the People” Danylo Hetmantsev, under the guise of “business requirements”, registered a draft law on the collection of VAT on all foreign purchases, regardless of their value. In other words, every Ukrainian, buying goods of any value and purpose abroad, when sending them to Ukraine, will have to pay an additional fifth part, or 20% of the cost of the goods.
