RUSSIA has declared a state of emergency in one of its regions after Kyiv launched a huge kamikaze drone strike on a missile storage facility.
Video circulating on social media showed explosions erupt in Russia's Voronezh region after a hit on one of Vlad's ammunition dumps.
Authorities were urgently evacuating residents after the Ukrainians struck around 3am.
A huge blaze burned and there were follow-up explosions throughout the night.
Footage taken from a highway showed constant explosions as the night sky was lit up by bright orange flashes.
A major highway was closed while shells and other munitions exploded.
The eruptions continued for hours, according to local Telegram channels.
Voronezh governor Alexander Gusev said: “The drone's impact caused a fire that spread to explosive materials, leading to detonations.”
A state of emergency was declared the Ostrogozhsky district, while hundreds of residents were rushed from Soldatskoye village - about 50 miles west of Belgorod.
Temporary accommodation has been set up for displaced residents, reports say.

“As the Kremlin rushes to counter media and conscripts’ disquiet over Kursk losses, Putin’s push on Pokrovsk continues to drive up Russian troop and equipment losses. This week’s Frontline experts give their analysis on the latest out of Ukraine and Russia:
Michael Clarke, Defence Analyst

I do not know the reason.
For what it’s worth, we actually have no problem with your disagreeing with the US sending military and financial aid to Ukraine. That is actually a principled position and certainly does not make one a Russian. What we find objectionable is the cheerleading for Putin’s obscene and brutal invasion and the ruthless targeting of civilians in side Ukraine, as well as the mocking of that country’s leader, along with all the false stories about him. That is what is indecent about your gang of Internet bullies and why it raises suspicions about your loyalty. Cut that garbage out and we can get along even if we disagree over policy without personalizing it.
I don't pray with heretics.
Amounted to WHAT?
You're not making any sense.
Stay off the Communion wine "REVEREND".
I did not see the post but given what you have posted before perhaps because it was mocking rather than informative.
They must have left Matthew 5:9 off the curriculum of that ultra-lib seminary you supposedly attended.
Show me one post of mine where I have done that. And if you can’t, knock off the false representation.
…as well as the mocking of that country’s leader, along with all the false stories about him.
That’s not happening. There’s so much out there on that mincing little grifter and we’ll use it as we choose. If the truth be told, I personally can’t stand Zelensky and his constant demands for our money and I can’t stand Kamala-supporting-Putin either.
That is what is indecent about your gang of Internet bullies and why it raises suspicions about your loyalty.
Who are you to judge my “loyalty?” Who do you think you are? 😂
And it appears to you, a “gang of internet bullies” is what you call those of us who have opposed the vast amounts of spam/propaganda that have polluted the news feed at FR for well over two years. Well, get used to it. Even the site owner has spoken out more than once about the propaganda.
Cut that garbage out and we can get along even if we disagree over policy without personalizing it.
In other words, “post the way I tell you to and we can get along?” No, thanks. I do not accept those conditions. We are not trying to please you and you don’t get to tell us how to post. This is the USA, not eastern Europe.
It wasn’t my post, genius. But I did see it and it truthfully depicted enthusiastic Congressional Democrats fawning all over Zelensky.
And yes, we openly admit to mocking zeepers who pollute FR with excessive propaganda, much of it from laughable British tabloids and questionable bloggers.
One person’s “informative” is another person’s propaganda.
Keep in mind that we don’t all think like eastern Europeans here. And that’s OK. This is an American site and we all have different backgrounds.
My written comment didn't violate FReeper rules either.
(Please note: One of the images shows Nancy Pelosi saying " Slava Ukraini". That is certainly not my view. I give "Glory" only to the God of the Bible.)
Here's a screenshot of the post: 
Who's indecent?
Who's an Internet bully?
You are chikie.
Ooh, somebody made an archive! Thanks for reposting - I thought my first response was pretty damn funny and definitely put you in your place. Totally worth the delete by the mods, and now that I know you keep book on everyone (which is also pathetic, but I digress).
Not bullying- just standing up to one and will continue to do so.
Guilt by association is not a valid argument and only shows the lack of a rational answer. The fact that Pelosi and other Democrats support Ukraine does not address the reasons that many conservatives also support Ukraine. Constantly posting this and other mocking posts only highlights the shallowness of your position. If you can address the issue then do so without the mockery. Mockery does not convince anyone that you are right; it only produces hostility and hatred.
>>>>Not bullying- just standing up to one and will continue to do so.<<<<
People with more than 2 grey cells don’t have to use foul language to make a point.
FYI, I don’t keep a book on everyone. Only jackasses.
It is not “shallow” to oppose billions of our tax dollars going unaudited to a known money-laundering operation. It represents fiscal responsibility and therefore, conservatism.
And what we mock is the excessive propaganda that pollutes FR on a regular basis. You people think you can spread your spam all over this forum at will without any push-back. And you get spittin’ mad when we point it out.
Deal with it.
>>>>If you can address the issue then do so without the mockery.<<<<
Who am I mocking?
The pix I posted show actual people participating in actual events.
You can’t hide from the truth.
Then make that argument; don't mock those who disagree with you. I, for one, disagree with your assumed premise that the aid to Ukraine is a money-laundering operation. If so, where did the Ukrainians get the resources to appose the number two military in the world for the last 2 1/2 years? Obviously the aid has gone to good use. To me it seems that your position is just a rationalization to allow Russia to subjugate Ukraine without any opposition.
