The ammunition hub, in the Belgorod region, was reportedly hit by Ukrainian assets and can be seen on fire through images captured shortly after the incident. Further attacks were also suspected with reports of explosions in the regions of the Voronezh and Kursk. Ukraine has not confirmed the strikes - but video appears to show anti-air missile being fired in the area.
The explosions are near the border of Ukraine and should it be confirmed as a Ukrainian strike, could be one of the first hits on Russian territory by Kyiv.
Russian forces have advanced to eastern Ukraine following a retreat from northern and central parts of the country in what Russian President Vladimir Putin is calling stage two of his "special operation."
The town of Belgorod is located about 50 miles from Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city of over more than 1 million people.
The Russian regional governor, Vyacheslav Gladkov, said on his Telegram channel that the explosion took place at around 3:35 am local time and caused him to be awoken.
Ukraine are previously thought to have a fuel depot in the same town in early April
The governor later learned the explosion had come from an arms depot being hit...

Wow! Yet another hit on Russian supply. I hope Ukraine is doing the same to smaller but closer FORWARD AREA REFUELING/MUNITION POINTS.
Looks similar to an earlier image of an attack on a Russian arms depot in Belgorod on March 29, 2022. How many arms depots does that town have, FFS? Or is Ukraine so desperate for a “win” that this is merely a recycled picture from a month ago?
Fewer than on the Ides of March...
Attack is reported by the Russian regional governor Vyacheslav Gladkov. I guess the Russians stupidly keep placing ammo on site.
'Blasts reported in 3 Russian regions bordering Ukraine'
The depot fire in Belgorod: The blast was followed by a fire at the ammunition depot in the village of Staraya Nelidovka, about 10 miles north of the Ukrainian border, regional governor Vyacheslav Gladkov said on his Telegram on Wednesday. He added that there were “no casualties among civilians.”
Explosions in Kursk: In the region of Kursk, residents “heard explosions” around 2:45 a.m. local time. The governor, Roman Starovoyt, said the details surrounding the explosions are still "being clarified," but that there were no casualties or destruction.
The Kursk explosions come just two days after two Ukrainian drones were shot down by Russian air defense crews in the region's village of Borovskoye, according to Starovoyt.
Bangs heard at dawn in Voronezh: Two loud bangs were heard by residents in the Shilovo neighborhood of the Russian city Voronezh at 4:40 a.m., according to Russian state media TASS, citing authorities.

What’s for dinner again?
Bear
Rus military depot guarded by military...news conspicuously absent doesn't mean zero casualties.
A retired US general in charge of training Spec Ops in Europe and Ukraine was asked about this. The questioner asked about missiles and the General was straight faced and noncommittal (a possibility).
He was asked about UA Spec Ops and his answer was again factual and noncommittal ... except for a brief smile, quickly dashed.

So you imagine that an arms depot has only one building? Those things have many, many bunkers covering acres, if not square miles.
