One of Russia's largest munitions stockpiles erupted in catastrophic secondary explosions that continued for hours.

Apparently, Ukrainian drones pushed through and started a chain reaction.

Explosions reportedly continued for hours, and authorities evacuated nearby settlements. Initial reports indicate that the site, previously protected by one of Russia’s densest air defense networks, suffered catastrophic damage.

    As an American, it is utterly insane to me that there’s a good number of Americans that are just like “huh yeah I guess we’re gonna bomb Canada to make them do what we want”.

    Then again, there’s a lot of utterly insane things happening these days.

    A lot of my countrymen are gonna be finding out about Type II “sorry” if we try any military adventurism. And I’m sure Greenlanders would welcome an expeditionary force of Finns, considering their rich and storied experience (5-6.5:1 KD ratio; ~5:1 overall casualty ratio, without even considering the Continuation War).

      Type II “sorry”

      Love this, and now that I see your username I find this quote has a Banksian quality to it.

      Type I: I’m sorry
      Type II: You’ll be sorry
