Overnight, Ukrainian forces successfully struck Russia's 67th GRAU Arsenal, a significant ammunition depot located in Karachev, Bryansk region. The depot, covering an area of approximately 3.5 square kilometers, was targeted by a swarm of Ukrainian drones. The attack resulted in continuous detonations and secondary explosions, indicating extensive damage. The facility stored various munitions, including artillery shells, anti-air missiles, MLRS rockets, and guided aerial bombs, with some supplies reportedly originating from North Korea. The strike has led to a state of emergency in the area, and despite claims that 12 drones were shot down, the situation remains critical.
