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.

Update on the conflict in Ukraine for August 25, 2024…
- Western media admits Ukraine has dangerously overextended itself through its Kursk incursion;
- Western media claims Russia is unable to use glide bombs in Kursk because of poor “air-control systems,” however, glide bombs are used primarily to break heavy fortifications which the Western media admits Ukraine is not building in Kursk;
- Despite claims that Russia’s response was “disjointed,” Ukraine’s Kursk operation has become a liability, costing it irreversibly lost territory along the actual line of contact;
- The more territory Ukraine attempts to hold in Kursk, the more troops and equipment it must divert from the actual line of contact;
- Western media reports admit that Russian progress in the Donbass has accelerated since the Kursk incursion began;
- Ukraine is not building the type of fortifications required to hold onto Kursk in the long-term with Western officials/analysts admitting that once Russia brings in sufficient reinforcements, uprooting Ukraine is inevitable;
- US military assistance to Ukraine continues to shrink, with the most recent package featuring the same items (without quantities noted) as previous packages, suggesting the US is drawing from its insufficient monthly production;
The war in Ukraine is absolutely a result of our meddling in that country -- we fomented an illegal coup, setoff a civil war and turned Ukraine into a national security threat to the Russians.
The Russians have far better reason to be in Ukraine than we did in Iraq in either war.
So we have actual live humans flying intentionally into Russian military targets with Ukraine sponsors? Or we have journalists intentionally lying to sell script?
karma is a bitch pooty
Say “Palianytsia”. LOL!
There is actually nothing to see, the Russians have not even reached the main defense line, let’s see how much gas they have in the tank when they have to take a city 1 1/2 times bakmut and no Wagner to throw into meat grinder and with longer logistics and air power fading
Agreed I was there and we shouldn’t have been there, but Putin has his reasons for invading, none of them good
I am sure Putin is following WWJD😎
The media doesn’t even know what words mean anymore.
They just say it if it sounds good.
ZEEPER FOLLIES PINGLIST!
(((PING!)))
... to be added to the best Zeeper-provided entertainment since Paul Shanklin parodies, ping me bro.
“”Russians just closed the Kerch bridge right now.......Russians in Crimea are so jumpy these days.””
Ah,yes, Crimea. In 2014, the Russians invaded Eastern Ukraine and ‘annexed’ Crimea. B. Hussein just yawned. The Ukrainian ATM for democRATs and RINOs must always be the highest priority.
Although I feel bad for the young men dying in this stupid useless war I hope both sides lose.
I noticed that too. Probably vectored thrust cone. Or something else that we aren’t allowed to see.
