00:00Renovated in 2018, the facility in Toropets is estimated to have stored around 30,000
00:11tons of military goods.
00:13The former Russian deputy defence minister said back then that the site met the highest
00:18international standards and could defend weapons from missiles and even a small nuclear attack.
00:24Dmitry Bulgakov was arrested earlier this year on corruption charges.
00:29The Toropets ammunition storage site in Russia's Tver region covered the area of over five
00:34square kilometres in size and a perimeter of more than 12 kilometres long.
00:41The town of Toropets is situated around 470 kilometres north of the Ukrainian border and
00:47the destruction of the ammunition that was stored there will most likely negatively affect
00:51the northern operational group of the Russian army, including the supply of troops in Kursk,
00:57Belgorod and Bryansk.
00:59According to Ukrainian sources, the military site in Toropets reportedly housed fuel tanks
01:04as well as missiles intended for Iskander missile systems, Tochka-U missile systems,
01:10Gaiden aerial bombs and artillery ammunition.
01:14The head of Ukraine's Centre for Countering Disinformation, Andriy Kovalenko, said that
01:19in addition to its own ammunition, Russia had also started to store North Korean missiles
01:25in Toropets.
