A powerful explosion occurred near a large weapons depot in Karaсhev, Bryansk Oblast, overnight on Monday, with videos and photos circulating on local Telegram channels. Local authorities traditionally attributed the blast to an alleged drone attack interception.
According to Andriy Kovalenko, the head of the Center for Counteracting Disinformation at the National Security and Defense Council, the strike targeted the 67th Arsenal of the Main Missile and Artillery Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Russia in Bryansk Oblast.
"There were artillery ammunition, including North Korean systems, KAB guided aerial bombs, guided missiles, and ammunition for MLRS," Kovalenko added.
The governor of Bryansk Oblast, Aleksandr Bogomaz, claimed that 12 fixed-wing drones were intercepted by Russian air defenses and that there was no destruction.
Previously, this arsenal had already been targeted by drones.
