A major Ukrainian drone attack on Russia triggered a giant blast and forced the partial evacuation of residents near the site of a large Russian arsenal in the Tver region on Wednesday, war bloggers and some media reported.

Ukraine has repeatedly targeted border regions such as Bryansk, Kursk and Belgorod. The attack on Tver, about 500 kilometers from the border, is not as common, but is an example of what Ukrainian officials have repeatedly said they want to do in order to hit Russian military infrastructure that could be used to attack Ukraine.
