Ukraine Strikes Russian Ammo Depot, Escalating Conflict

In a significant escalation, Ukraine successfully targeted a large Russian military depot in Toropets, Tver region, causing a massive fire that spread over six kilometers. The depot housed Iskander and Tochka-U missiles, guided bombs, and other munitions.

The attack, coordinated by Ukrainian security and intelligence forces, was intended to demilitarize Russia further and shift the war's consequences inside Russian territory. The explosion was so severe that it was detected by seismic monitoring stations and NASA.

Local residents were evacuated as firefighters battled the blaze. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy seeks Western approval to use advanced weapons to continue striking targets within Russia.

This move follows Ukraine's sustained efforts to disrupt Russian military capabilities, including the recent sinking of a Russian warship in the Black Sea and targeting the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. The conflict's intensity grows as Ukraine aims to diminish Russia's missile potential systematically, while Russia reinforces its arsenal with Iranian and North Korean weapons.

As the war progresses, the international community watches closely, concerned about the broader implications of these aggressive tactics.
