Ukraine hits Russian ammunition dump in Voronezh region

A state of emergency has been declared in parts of Russia’s Voronezh region after a reported Ukrainian drone strike on an ammunition storage facility.

Alexander Gusev, the governor of Voronezh, said that the attack sparked a large warehouse fire and that the “detonation of explosive material continues”.

“There were no casualties,” Mr Gusev added in a post on his Telegram channel.

According to open-source intelligence analysts, the ammunition dump is located in the small village of Seergevka, which is south east of the city of Voronezh and around 50 miles from the Ukrainian border.

Footage posted on social media showed a drone flying low over the countryside and a large mushroom cloud burning on the horizon.

Ukraine has yet to comment on the attack.
