DRAMATIC satellite pictures have revealed the aftermath of one of the biggest Ukrainian strikes that rained hell inside Russia and reduced Putin’s weapons arsenal to ashes.
Over 58 storage buildings, belonging to the Main Artillery Directorate of Russia’s Defence Ministry, have either been obliterated or destroyed beyond repair in the devastating scorched-earth attacks.

TelegramSeveral open areas stacked with ammunition have been destroyed while railway units and trains containing Russian military equipment have also been wiped out.
Pictures released by verified OSINT accounts now show the level of destruction near Oktyabrsky in Tver Oblast, where Kyiv’s crack units have been blitzing targets with Kamikaze drones.
The areas used for loading ammunition onto trains to transport them to the frontlines have also been affected, Pravada reports.
Ukrainians are understood to have struck the military compound containing Russian missiles on September 21.
Russian authorities were forced to close a nearby federal M-9 motorway after the blitz under “special orders”.
Multiple war bloggers and Russian telegram channels reported that Ukrainian UAVs had supposedly hit the facility and could explode and “wipe out tens of kilometres in the area”.
It comes just days after Ukraine’s biggest attack on Russian soil was seen from space after Kamikaze drones obliterated Putin’s massive weapon arsenal.
The ammunition depot exploded in a huge mushroom fireball with thick black smoke pouring into the sky in Toropets and nearby villages.
Tens of millions of pounds worth of missiles and ammunition went up in flames as repeated fireball explosions ripped through the depot.
Dramatic footage showed the scale of the strong blast that even caused an earthquake of 2.8 on the Richter scale.
And the following mushroom cloud was so big that it was snapped by satellites all the way from space.
Schools and kindergartens in the area were ordered to shut down due to ongoing explosions and toxic smoke filling the sky.
The modern storage depots in Tver region – part of Russian military unit No. 71628 – were hit by multiple kamikaze drones in the massive attack.
It’s thought up to 30,000 tonnes of munitions were being held in the facilities for Putin’s war.
The facility is some 285 miles from the Ukrainian border and is also alleged to house a giant stock of North Korean missiles and weapons sent by Putin ally Kim Jong Un inside.
When the “Comprehensive Storage Arsenal” was constructed in 2018, Putin’s deputy defence minister General Dmitry Bulgakov vowed that “it protects missiles and munitions from outside impact and ensures proper upkeep”.
He boasted: “It is explosion and fireproof.”
Multiple depots containing up to 240 tonnes of missiles, ammunition and explosives built in Toropets.
Ukrainian journalist Denis Kazansky said: “The scale of the detonation of the warehouse in the Tver region is impressive…
“The 107th arsenal of the Main Missile and Artillery Directorate of the Russian Federation is on fire.
“The depots stored rockets for MLRS, mortar mines and anti-aircraft missiles.
“In total, the volume of stockpiles is estimated at 30,000 tonnes.”
More than ten Russian servicemen were killed in the devastating kamikaze drone strikes, one source revealed.
Ukraine also hit a new ammunition silo complex at Toropets in Tver region.
The separate blast is rumoured to have taken place at a secret Putin facility where he keeps his prized nuclear weapon – the “Satan-2” rocket.
Ukrainian soldiers in the war-torn Donestk region have also released dramatic footage of a battle against Putin’s troops.
Incredible footage shows the relentless battle on the streets of Toretsk.
The two-minute video shared on X, formerly Twitter, shows Ukrainian units of the Lyut Assault Brigade at work as they wipe out enemy troops.
The action-packed clip begins with Kyiv’s brave men heading to the battleground in a truck before they unload the vehicle and head off to fight.
Meanwhile, data shows that at least 70,000 Russian troops have been killed since the Kremlin’s illegal invasion of Ukraine two years ago.
But the figure could be far higher if casualty figures hidden by Russia are taken into account.
The death toll used obituaries, photos from funerals and social media sites.
BBC Russian and independent website Mediazona said new graves marked by flags also helped confirm the identities of killed soldiers.
Some 13,781 were volunteers — which now exceeds former prisoners.
Citizens called up to fight under conscription account for 13 per cent.
Since October last year, the death rate among volunteers has been at least 100 per week.
