Ahh I’m sorry to waste your time, I know about them. I just meant to say “there’s more than one!”
It’s hard to take joy from anything in this war, but seeing the Kremlin’s ammunition lighting up the sky with a thousand foot fireball, knowing it would save many Ukrainian lives, was incredible. Some of the craters in the satellite photos are very impressive.
There were three in three or four days, though the first depot, at Toropets, was the most-significant.
At least the first involved a substantial number of Ukranian long-range UAVs – I saw “about 100” quoted in coverage of it – and given that this current statement references large UAV or missile strikes and comes shortly after those, I guess that it might indeed be in response to those.

I hope the speculation about them hitting missiles is right. Much harder to replace them than artillery shells or small arms ammunition.
