As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, on the night of September 18, Ukraine attacked one of the largest warehouses of the russian army in the area of the town of Toropets, Tver Oblast.
As a result of the attack, there was a large-scale detonation of ammunition, which caused a series of earthquakes. The strength of the biggest tremor was 2.8 points.
As Andrii Kovalenko, the head of the Center for Countering Disinformation at the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, wrote, Iskander-M and KN-23 ballistic missiles were stored at the warehouse near Toropets.
