“Aftermath of the major explosion in Sergiev Posad near Moscow. That were a lot of optic firecrackers”

According to the Russians, it was a fireworks explosion. Very sad, as they were stocking up for Putin’s 2024 victory election.
I’m guessing sabotage. A bomb placed in the factory.

If you watch some of the videos, you can hear the incoming missile ...
The Dawn Of Deterrence: Listing Romania’s Recent Arms Acquisitions
Tanks, IFVs, artillery, air defense, ships, subs, F-16s, F-35s, etc. Many of their purchases seem to parallel Poland's buys. M1A2s, HIMARS, K9 SPHs, Patriots, etc.
Incoming missile?
That would be huge.
Seeing reports that the Optics plant was renting space to a pyrotechnics company that went bankrupt. Maybe I could rent out my garage or guest room to store fireworks? What could go wrong?
International oil companies took the biggest writedowns from pulling out of Russia last year, but the one time writedown was buffered by the exceptional short time surge in oil prices. Now it is water under the bridge for them.
“The oil industry, including companies BP, Shell, and TotalEnergies, was the industry that suffered the greatest financial losses from leaving Russia, an analysis by the Financial Times has revealed.
Out of total losses of some 100 billion euro, or some $110 billion, the losses incurred by Big Oil majors account for about 40%. Next were utilities, which account for over 15% of the total losses.
BP (UK) last year booked an impairment cost of $24 billion on its Russian business after it left the country. The supermajor had a minority stake in Rosneft. The 19.75% interest accounted for around 50% of BP’s total oil and gas reserves and a third of its oil and gas production.
Shell (also UK, despite the legacy “Royal Dutch” name) reported a writedown of $5 billion on its exit from Russia last year but said that would not affect its oil and gas profits. It was one of the first companies to declare it would leave Russia after the Ukraine invasion.
TotalEnergies (France), on the other hand, was slow to exit. The French supermajor had a stake in an LNG project led by Novatek and, in late 2022, Total said it would drop it and leave, taking an impairment of $3.7 billion since it could not sell it back to Novatek because of the Western sanctions on Russia.”
What Ukrainian missile can hit Moscow?
I doubt that Ukraine has any left.

Seems likely it was a slapdash artillery shell production facility that went boom. Somebody hustling and trying to make a ruble or three. Typical Russkiy “Special Operation”.
