According to the head of the Center for Countering Disinformation at the National Security and Defense Council Andrey Kovalenko, a warehouse in the Tikhoretsky District of the Russian Federation has been demilitarized. It was used to store North Korean KN23s, as well as artillery and ammunition for Smerch missiles.
This information is also confirmed by analysts Defence-ua. At the same time, given the location of the warehouse, it obviously plays a huge role for the southern and eastern groups of enemy troops. The ammunition storage base has a total area of 1 km².
The Crimean Wind Monitoring Group, citing satellite imagery, reports that multiple fires have been recorded at ammunition depots near Tikhoretsk.
Plumes of hot air are visible in the atmosphere, which are carried hundreds of meters away.
— To determine the extent of the damage, we need to wait until everything burns and explodes, — notes the Telegram public.
It is also reported that at the attacked warehouse near Tikhoretsk in the Krasnodar Territory, ammunition was stored in the open air, as indicated by satellite images.
It is assumed that this is how the ammunition was prepared for shipment – trucks are also visible in the footage.
The village of Kamenny is located near the city of Tikhoretsk. It is about 300 km from the current front line.
Tikhoretsk on the map
Tikhoretsk is located several kilometers from the Kamenny Tikhoretsky district of the Krasnodar region, which was attacked by drones.
In addition, the distance between Tikhoretsk and Krasnodar is about 170 km.
Drone attack on the village of Oktyabrsky on September 21
The 23rd arsenal of the GRAU (Main Missile and Artillery Directorate of the Russian Army) was attacked by drones in the village of Oktyabrsky in the Tver region. The warehouse is located just 16 km south of the already destroyed 107th arsenal in Toropets.
What kind of ammunition is stored there remains in question. This is one of the 6 GRAU arsenals that remained in the European part of Russia after Toropets.
As reported by Russian media reported, the federal highway M-9 Baltiya was blocked in the Tver region after the attack on the missile arsenal. The Staraya Toropa station (11 km from the village) was also evacuated.
As reported by the Governor of the Tver Region Igor Rudenya, UAVs were allegedly shot down in the southwest of the Tver Region by the forces of the Russian Ministry of Defense.
The Russian Defense Ministry announced the alleged destruction of 101 UAVs last night — 53 of them were in the Bryansk region, 18 in the Krasnodar region, 5 over the territory of the Kaluga region, three UAVs over the territories of the Tver and Belgorod regions, 1 drone over the territories of the Smolensk and Kursk regions and the annexed Crimea, 16 over the waters of the Sea of Azov.
Recall that on September 18, drones of the Security Service of Ukraine, the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense and the Special Operations Forces virtually wiped off the face of the earth a large warehouse of the Main Missile and Artillery Directorate (GRAU) of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation in Toropets, Tver Region.
According to ICTV Facts sources, the warehouse in Toropets contained missiles for the Iskander and Tochka-U systems, as well as corrected air bombs (KABs) and artillery ammunition.
