Voronezh Oblast officials declared a state of emergency after a drone barrage set off a chain detonation of „explosive objects.“
Ukrainian drones struck an ammunition depot in Russia’s Voronezh region, causing a large fire, according to local reports.
Ukrainian intelligence claimed responsibility for the attack in the region’s Olkhovatsky district.

„Considering the size of the warehouse, it seems that it will explode for a long time“, the HUR said.The Context
Ukraine has frequently attacked Russian military bases, saying they are legitimate targets in the ongoing war between the two countries that began in February 2022 after Russian President Vladimir Putin launched his full-scale invasion.
