A juicy target, honestly.
But there are a clear sounds of exploding ammunition in the background of the films made, so I guess it was artillery ammo being stored there.

Are they not understanding they are only making things worse for themselves...
I suspect their electrical grid and any gas stores will be attacked now... the exodus of Ukrainian civilians to the EU may be beginning soon.

Daily reminder that Russia is engaged in war against Ukraine not NATO
Russian failure to properly castigate Ukrainians is not something that can be blamed on NATO or anyone else other than Russians

On the attack by Ukrainian UAVs on military depots in Toropets
During the night, Ukrainian forces carried out a massive UAV strike on various targets on the territory of Russia. Air defenses were active in the Bryansk, Kursk, Oryol, and Smolensk regions. One of the targets was an arsenal in the town of Toropets in Tver Region. Despite official statements about a fire due to "falling debris", this is obviously not the case. A partial evacuation has been announced in the area, with the population being evacuated to Zapadnaya Dvina.
The explosions at the depots were so powerful that they were detected by seismic monitoring systems. The first tremors of magnitude 2.8 were recorded at 3:56 am, followed by seven weaker ones, from 2 to 2.8 on the Richter scale.
Interestingly, the targeted depot was opened in its time by the then Deputy Defense Minister of Russia, Bulgakov, who is now under investigation. According to the official's statements in 2018, the implementation of the complex would build a storage system for missiles, ammunition and explosives that "meets the highest global standards". And the arsenal "allows to shelter stocks of missiles and ammunition from external influence and ensure their safety and explosion and fire safety", and there was even a sauna on the territory, according to the report.
Perhaps, if everything that happened was caused by "falling debris", the investigation has more work to do.

The baltics likely could not pull it off either.
Considering that it was likely sabotage, perhaps we will be seeing western arms manufacture take a beating, after all the taboo on that has long gone out the window.
