Series of drone attacks on Russian military targets

On the night of September 21, 2024, a series of powerful drone attacks targeted Russian military installations, causing significant damage to the aggressor's logistical infrastructure. The primary target was an artillery ammunition depot in the Tikhoretsk district of Krasnodar Krai, which, according to the American analytical institute CSIS, is a key logistical hub for storing munitions received by Russia from North Korea.

This was reported by the publication "Khvilya", citing reports from Russian media and posts in Ukrainian Telegram channels.

It is reported that the attack was carried out using drones on the village of Kamenny, where two military units are located: No. 57229-41 and No. 01704. Special attention was drawn to the first unit, known locally as "White Sheds." It belongs to the Material and Technical Support Center of the Southern Military District and is directly involved in the aggression against Ukraine.

According to CSIS, the Tikhoretsk ammunition depot, also known as the 719th Artillery Ammunition Base, has significantly expanded its operations since the fall of 2023. The White House confirmed the use of this facility to store North Korean munitions on October 13, 2023.

The governor of Krasnodar Krai, RF Veniamin Kondratyev, reported about the "falling debris," which caused a detonation that continues even now. He also announced the evacuation of Kamenny and claimed that there were allegedly no casualties.

Attack on the depot in Toropets, Tver region

In addition, on the same night, Ukrainian Defense Forces launched a repeated attack on the depot in Toropets, Tver region. This Time, the 23rd GRAU arsenal, located just 16 km south of the previously destroyed 107th arsenal, was hit.

Moreover, information appeared online about another successful attack in the Tver region. According to reports, drones hit a secret facility near Toropets—a missile forces military unit in the village of Oktyabrsky, which locals call "Kopai." As a result of this attack, the evacuation of Stara Toropa station began. Several railway routes were canceled, including "Moscow-Pskov" and "St. Petersburg-Smolensk" lines.
