There is no information made public that can tell what exploded inside the military boundaries south of the headquarters of Russia's Northern Fleet.
A video recording was posted Wednesday evening on social media in Murmansk of what appears to be a massive explosion in the horizon. The Barents Observer has geolocated the filming position from Skalnaya street No. 9, which is on the top of the hill in Oktyabrskiy District. The explosion, which lasts only a few seconds, can be seen in a distance of several kilometers to the north.
Here are dozens of military objects, including the Severomorsk-1 naval airbase and weapons' storages and bunkers.
Severomorsk-1 is 13 km from the location of the video-recording. The airbase is the second largest on the Kola Peninsula and accommodates both fighter jets, bombers and maritime surveillance aircraft. A squadron of Ka-27 helicopters is also located at the airfield.
At a distance of 11 km from the video recording is a outdoor weapons storage. This is some 2 km southwest from the end of the runway. To the northwest of Severomorsk-1 is several installations with mobile anti-aircraft missiles and antennas for electronic warfare.
Locals in Murmansk are debating on Vkontakte about what could have caused the massive explosions that shakes windows and walls in the district. One writes that the two explosions happened at 17.24 and 17.27 local time (15.24 and 15.27 CET).
"There were two explosions. I live in the Starostina Street, at the 8th floor. The house was shaking. It was terrible," a woman writes in a comment on a local social media channel.

OMG !! Snow
Any time you see the word “Ukraine” in an article or headline just substitute “CIA” and you can’t go wrong.
More poking the bear in an attempt to start WW III before Trump takes over. I put nothing past the NeoCon CIA/FBI/MI6
No one knows what or where Severomusk is.
“More poking the bear”
It;s not a bear. It’s a whore.
Probably just another “smoking accident’
Never heard of it—but it looks cold and snowy there.
Lol.
Probably just another “smoking accident’
Drones returned home and blew their wad.
That sounds pretty far from Ukraine
Perhaps nobody knows where Severomusk is, but anyone who knows anything about WWII knows where Murmansk is.
MASSIVE EXPLOSION that lasted 2 seconds
🔝🔝🔝
Did you expect Ukraine to just let Russia invade and not actually fight? If you engage in war, things are going to be destroyed.
This notion of “escalation” is nonsense. How many times has Putin threaten this or that and it has been complete bluster?
Putin poked the Ukraine bear and it is biting back. That is a natural consequence of invading a country.
The Brits announced the are sending troops to “train” in Ukraine. Putin is extremely cool considering.
Oh yes the Murmansk incident id skip the tattoo

In Finland, even 9 y.o. children are well familiar with basic geography.
The separation of the two explosions seems to make an attack of some sort seem more likely than an accident.
Perhaps when daylight comes (if they have any this time of year, that far North), satellites will see what blew up.
