On the night of September 7, drones from Ukraine's Security Service (SSU) targeted an ammunition and equipment depot in Russia's Voronezh region, causing ongoing explosions, according to RBC-Ukraine sources.
SSU drones hit a large ammunition and equipment warehouse in the village of Soldatskoye, Voronezh region. The depot was reportedly used by Russian forces to supply equipment to Ukraine.
The attack caused four major fires, and explosions continued to erupt at the site.
Local authorities have initiated an emergency evacuation of residents from nearby areas.
“The SSU continues systematic efforts to create a demilitarized zone in Russian regions bordering Ukraine. Military air bases, ammunition depots, and infrastructure supporting the war in Ukraine are legitimate targets,” the source said.
