An ammunition depot and missile arsenal in southwestern Russia caught fire in an attack Saturday in the Krasnodar region of Russia, triggering evacuations after the blaze caused a series of blasts. The depot appeared to be just kilometers from another that was struck by Ukrainian drones early Wednesday, injuring 13 people and also causing a huge fire. Russian authorities on Saturday closed a 100-kilometer stretch of a highway and evacuated passengers from a nearby rail station after the fire caused a series of explosions. Posts on the messaging app Telegram said a missile depot was struck near the town of Toropets, in Russia’s Tver region, about 380 kilometers northwest of Moscow and about 500 kilometers from the Ukrainian border. https://www.voanews.com/a/russia-says-it-downed-101-ukrainian-drones-overnight/7793096.html » Subscribe to VOA News: https://bit.ly/3KIPysi » Watch more VOA News video: https://www.youtube.com/c/VOANews Voice of America (VOA) is the largest U.S. international broadcaster, providing news and information in more than 40 languages to an estimated weekly audience of 236.8 million people.
