around moscow, 30,000 tons of ammunition suddenly exploded! a huge mushroom cloud rose into the sky

according to the norwegian seismological station, at 3:56 a.m. local time on september 18, a magnitude 2.8 earthquake occurred 17.6 kilometers from toropets, tver oblast, russia, which is close to moscow, with a focal depth of 0 kilometers! in the local area, someone also took a photo of a huge mushroom cloud rising into the sky after a loud bang! what happened? did russia suffer a nuclear attack?

of course not, this is a large missile ammunition depot in russia that was attacked by a ukrainian drone and exploded violently. it is reported that the ammunition depot stored "iskander" and "tochka-u" missiles, aviation-guided bombs and artillery ammunition, totaling about 30,000 tons of ammunition, and the explosion power was estimated to be 1.3-1.8 kilotons, which is equivalent to a low-yield tactical nuclear bomb.

ukraine said that the ukrainian army dispatched more than 100 drones to carry out a saturation attack on the ammunition depot, while russia, as usual, said that the russian air defense forces shot down all the drones and that the fire was caused by the falling drone fragments. the russian army's ammunition depot of such a scale must be strictly guarded by the air defense forces, so what kind of drone broke through the russian army's layers of defense?
