Ukraine launched another major drone barrage against targets inside Russia on Wednesday and hit a Russian military warehouse in the town of Toropets in the Tver Oblast, causing a massive explosion.
Toropets is about 300 miles from the Ukrainian border and 250 miles northwest of the Russian capital of Moscow.
A Ukrainian official speaking to The Associated Press said the attack was carried out by Ukraine’s Security Service, along with Ukrainian Intelligence and Special Operations Forces. The official claimed the warehouse housed Iskander and Tochka-U missiles, glide bombs, and artillery shells.
Russia has stayed relatively quiet about the attack. Russia’s RIA Novosti news agency reported that air defenses were working to repel a “massive drone attack” on Toropets, and Russia’s Health Minister said 13 people were wounded in the Tver region.
The attack came as Ukraine was pushing for the US to allow the use of NATO-provided missiles to strike deep inside Russia. AP reported Wednesday that the US is still not convinced it should support long-range strikes on Russian territory and said it is seeking more information about what sort of targets Ukraine would want to hit.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has issued a strong warning about the matter, saying if the US decided to lift restrictions on Ukraine’s use of the missiles, it would mean NATO is at war with Russia.
“It would mean that NATO countries, the US, European countries, are at war with Russia. If that’s the case, then taking into account the change of nature of the conflict, we will take the appropriate decisions based on the threats that we will face,” Putin said last week.
Ouch! Tankie-land must be beside itself…
UKRAINO- NOVAD USE
Thats a big blow for Russia, its a pity they dont have large underground storage for munitions
Behold! Zelensky is brilliant! ZELENSKY'S PEACE PLAN is working! Now the Russians are totally out of their stupid missiles. Not only that, but they're also out of the stupid Iranian and stupider North Korean missiles! …But seriously. I never thought you achieve PEACE by giving your enemy who is armed to the teeth a black eye. I thought that was just an OBVIOUS FU@KING ESCALATION!
For some reason, the “behold” brought on a major guffaw. Well done.
I had a "BEHOLD ! The mighty geode !!" moment from Martin Prince of 'The Simpsons'.
“…armed to the teeth…”
Not so much anymore!
armed to the burning pieces of scrap metal
that would scare some russkies who don't have plumbing

So what? Russia has thousands of depot like that.
And as usual, Ukraine will have more losses and less land because of this.
when we are finished with Ukraine, remaining survivors will be in Poland and Transnistria will be reunited.
that was a good day
Death to Russia
Get a real job US State Department Troll!

Pepe Escobar stated that NATO has plans for another war or operation against Russia beginning in 2030.
he says a lot of things apparently
As do you.
As do you
A bona fide Ukrainian parrot.
Just the facts
And what was this… a shallow attack inside Russia…?!
By Kievvian definitions, yes. Zelenskiyy wants the ability to fire so deep into Russian Federation territory that he risks overshooting by a nudge & hitting Honolulu.
