Consequences of night strikes on ammunition depots in Russian Toropets: "Schemes" publish satellite images

The images from the Planet Labs satellite, which are at the disposal of Radio Liberty journalists, show the consequences of the fire, which was still ongoing today as of 3:30 p.m. Kyiv time. There are also craters with a diameter of 50 to 90 meters from exploding shells.

This is the result of a night attack by Ukrainian drones on the warehouse of the Main Missile and Artillery Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation on September 18. It is located on the territory of military unit #11777 in the city of Toropets, Tver region.
