A state of emergency was declared in the Voronezh region of Russia after akamikaze drone strike caused a major blaze at an ammunitions warehouse.
There were several explosions and huge flames for hours after the Ukraine hit in Ostrogozhsk overnight.
At least 200 people were evacuated and two people were injured, one seriously, in the district.
Regional governor Aleksandr Gusev acknowledged there was a ‘detonation of explosive objects’ and claimed the ignition came from the falling debris from a drone.
Russian channels, meanwhile, confirmed that an ammunition warehouse had been struck.
Ukrainian forces are engaged in a long-term campaign of drone strikes aimed at damaging Russia’s military infrastructure and oil industry.
Earlier this week, drones hit ammunition supplies at Marinovka military airfield in the Volgograd region.

Meanwhile, in Donbass: “move along folks...nothing to see here.”
Or none of them are because they don't have pilots to commit suicide in the effort?
Bizarro
Some drones drop ordinance and return. Other, “kamikaze” drones have the ordinance integral to the system and are flown into the target directly.
Sure looks like more than one fire.
No rudder eh ... so this is the old Nazi V3. Pretty lucky to hit the ammo dump if it is just a random shot
“Kamikaze” — those drone pilots gave their lives for Mother Ukraine. Brave, brave pilots.
"Attack drones" is a more suitable description.
Calling them "Kamikazes" is a an emotional-laden term intended to manipulate the reader. After all, the Kamikazes were a last-ditch effort by Japan to hold off the American navy - and they did not work for that purpose. So, "Kamikaze drones" are for losers, right? No need to worry about them.
"Attack drones" work very well for the side that uses them. So both sides use them in the Ukraine. It is a new development in warfare which changes everything about how troops and vehicles must be used.
We had better learn from the unfortunate experiences of others and catch up our capabilities really fast. Our current levels of DEI generals are not capable of doing that.
Ukraine used a Neptun missile, too.
Sweet!
Putin should be hanged…slowly. What an evil creature.
Russians just closed the Kerch bridge right now. Warning that Ukrainian jet drones have been launched against Crimea. Russians in Crimea are so jumpy these days.
Now would be a good time for the Ukes to pack up and sprint back to their own border, leaving the Russians to process their options.
