This night, Russians complained online about two attacks. Reports indicated that warehouses containing ammunition in the Krasnodar Krai and Tver region were targeted. Numerous videos showing detonations were published.
The Russian Ministry of Defense claimed that air defense systems "intercepted" and "destroyed" 101 drones over Russian regions during the night.
Russians asserted that 53 drones were supposedly eliminated over Bryansk region, 18 over Krasnodar Krai, 5 over Kaluga region, 3 each over Tver and Belgorod regions, 1 each over Smolensk, Kursk regions, and Crimea, and 16 drones over the waters of the Azov Sea.
Krasnodar Krai
By morning, footage of explosions and fires in the Tikhoretsk district of Krasnodar Krai appeared online. The region's governor, Veniamin Kondratyev, stated that the Tikhoretsk district had been attacked, and two drones were "eliminated."
According to him, a fire broke out due to falling debris, which ignited explosive materials, leading to detonations. The governor announced that residents of the settlement where the fire broke out were being evacuated.
At the same time, Russian authorities did not specify the name of the settlement or the object of the attack.
However, reports online indicate that an ammunition warehouse was attacked in the settlement of Kamennyi. According to Russian media, there are two military units located there — military unit 01704 and military unit 57229-41. Local residents stated that military unit 57229-41 was targeted, which is unofficially referred to as the "white sheds."
As of the morning, detonations following the attack are still ongoing. The district center of Tikhoretsk is located 10 kilometers from the attacked warehouse, where explosions can be heard and black smoke is visible.
OSINT analysts also published satellite images of the ammunition warehouse in Krasnodar Krai. The images reveal that the ammunition was stored outdoors. It is likely that they were being prepared for shipment, as trucks were also observed nearby.
Tver region
About an hour before reports of explosions in Krasnodar Krai, there were mentions of explosions in Tver region online. The sounds of explosions were heard in Toropets, where a warehouse containing rockets and ammunition had recently been attacked, as well as in nearby settlements.
Russian media stated that the 23rd arsenal of the Main Rocket and Artillery Directorate of the Russian Ministry of Defense in the settlement of Oktyabrsky in Tver region was struck during the night.
It is worth noting that the 23rd arsenal is located just 16 kilometers south of the previously destroyed 107th arsenal in Toropets.
NASA satellites recorded a large fire in Tver region following the attack.
