Russia said it was working to repel a Ukrainian drone attack on Toropets, where there's a major military depot, as explosions lit up the night.

A partial evacuation has been ordered in Russia's Tver region after a "massive" Ukrainian drone attack sparked a fire there, the local governor has said. Igor Rudenya said emergencies services in the town of Toropets were trying to "localise" the blaze caused by falling drone wreckage.

Ukrainian drones hit an ammunition depot inside Russia this week, the latest attack targeting military facilities deep within the country.

Russian forces obliterated a retirement home in Ukraine, killing an elderly woman and wounding at least a dozen more, in the latest wave of deadly airstrikes to hit the country, Ukrainian officials said.

The Moscow Times reported that since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, more than 250 armoured vehicles have been removed from the Russian military equipment base at Dachnoye near Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk.

Specialists from the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) have discussed the Ukrainians' destruction of an ammunition depot in Tver Oblast, western Russia, which caused a minor earthquake. They believe this event will influence Russia's actions in Ukraine and significantly hinder their operations.

Rostov-on-Don, across the Russian border from Ukraine, is where Yevgeny Prigozhin famously started his rebellion against Vladimir Putin last year.
