MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian authorities rushed to evacuate people from more than 10 villages in the region of Ryazan on Wednesday after a blaze broke out at an ammunition depot, sending thick smoke belching into the air, the Interfax news agency reported.

Oh no! Ryazan is where they have MASSIVE stockpiles of ex-Nazi weapons. Hundreds of thousands of K98s stacked up, 1000+ of the 7000 FG42, tens of thousands of MP43/44s, MG42s, etc. Lots of PPsh and Mosins too.
