Ukraine destroyed one of Russia’s largest weapons depots.
An aerial attack struck the depot in Northeast Ammunition Depot of Toropets in the Tver region.
It is located about 300 miles or 480 km from the frontlines and 240 miles or 385 km West of Moscow.
The explosions have been so strong that they have been registered in earthquake monitors that track seismic activity.
Ben Dando, a seismologist at the Norwegian seismology research foundation NORSAR, told CNN that its sensors “detected seismic signals, of magnitude 2.5 to 2.8, in northwest Russia which looks to be associated with the drone attack launched by Ukraine.”
Dando added, that NORSAR, which has been using seismic monitors since 2022 to evaluate the impact of the war in Ukraine, is currently analyzing the preliminary data to capture the full extent of the blast.
Some reports indicate 17 explosions were detected by earthquake monitoring equipment in Estonia, Russia, and Ukraine, ranging from 2.0 to 2.8 on the Richter Scale.
