I had to really chuckle at the Russian “news” regarding this explosion.

Here is the RT report:

https://www.rt.com/russia/604200-russia-toropets-evacuation-order/

“A partial evacuation has been ordered in Toropets, a town of 11,000 to the northwest of Moscow, where “fragments” of a downed Ukrainian drone started a fire, Tver Region Governor Igor Rudenya said in the early hours of Wednesday.

Local air defenses were activated to intercept an enemy UAV, Rudenya said, adding that emergency services are responding to the blaze caused by “falling drone fragments.”

The governor has ordered “partial evacuation of residents from the territory where the air defenses are active and responders are working to contain the fire,” according to a statement from his office. There are no reports of casualties. “

Here is some video of the “falling fragments” from drones:

LOL! And OUR media is bad?

I should clarify the video is not of falling fragments but of the nuisance “fires” caused by the “fragments” of successfully intercepted” drones. On Reddit you can see the video of the official who said that the air defense “worked”..
