A large ammunition depot in the Voronezh region of the Russian Federation was completely destroyed by Ukrainian drones.

The strike took place on the night of July 7, but photos have only just emerged.

Photos and videos of the results on the ground were posted by the UAF Geolocate Telegram channel. And the satellite images were posted by OSINT analyst Brady Africk in his X.

The published photos and videos show scattered remnants of large-caliber artillery shells and deep craters from the explosions.

The destroyed transport and launch canisters of the S-300V anti-aircraft missile system on the territory of the destroyed depot near the village of Sergeevka in Podgorenskyi district are noteworthy.

It is likely that the Russians deployed this SAM, which has the ability to shoot down tactical ballistic missiles, in order to protect the depot from a missile attack. However, the photos show that it failed to do so. Alternatively, these missiles could have been stored on the territory of the arsenal.

Satellite images also confirm that the Russian depot in Voronezh region was completely destroyed by secondary detonation of ammunition after the attack by drone strikes.

After the attack, local residents began to report on social media that they had heard a large number of ammunition explosions.

Witnesses said they had seen three drones hit the Russian depot.

Traditionally, local authorities claimed that several drones heading toward the depot had allegedly been shot down by air defense and their wreckage had fallen on its territory.

Subsequently, local authorities began evacuating the population, and the highway passing through the village of Sergeevka was also blocked.

Also on the night of August 9, attack drones hit a depot at a Russian military airfield near Lipetsk.
