Video shows enormous explosion at Russian ammunition depot that Ukraine says housed munitions from North Korea

• Ukraine struck a major ammunition depot in Russia's Krasnodar Krai region.
• A video of the strike circulating on social media showed a huge explosion at the site.

Ukrainian forces struck a major Russian ammunition depot this weekend, causing a massive explosion that was caught on camera.

The strike hit a depot near Tikhoretsk in Russia's Krasnodar Krai region. The Ukrainian military said that 2,000 tons of munitions, including some from North Korea, had arrived at the depot before the strike.

The Russian regional governor, Veniamin Kondratyev, confirmed that two drones had attacked the site before being engaged by local air defenses, adding that the fire erupted after debris fell from one of the drones.

Kondratyev said that 1,200 locals had been evacuated and that there were no known casualties among the area's residents.

The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said in a Facebook post that the site is "in the top three largest ammunition storage bases for the occupiers and is one of the key ones in the Russian military's logistics system."

The Security Service of Ukraine also hit a munition depot in Oktyabrsky in the western region of Tver, it added.

On Saturday morning, the Russian Ministry of Defense said that Russian forces had intercepted 101 Ukrainian drones overnight, including 18 over Krasnodar Krai and three over Tver.

Ukraine has been increasingly targeting munitions facilities in Russia in recent weeks.

Its forces struck another ammo facility in Toropets on September 18.

Following that strike, analysts at the Institute for the Study of War said that similar strikes against such sites "may force a similar decision point on the Russian military command to reorganize and disperse support and logistics systems within Russia to mitigate the impact of such strikes. "
