“It flew there very clearly. It detonated from lunch and here until late in the evening.”

The explosion at the ammunition facility in temporarily occupied Nova Kakhovka comes less than a week after another Russian ammunition warehouse was destroyed in the Pologovsky district of Ukraine on Wednesday, June 8.

If reports of the attack from Ukrainian forces are true then this would be the second confirmed attack on a Russian ammunition warehouse in Ukraine within the last week.
