ammunition dump

But an unverified video on a pro-Russian social media account - said to have been filmed in Berdyansk - appears to show explosions and flying rockets, while a voice explains that an ammunition dump has been hit.

Several Russian military bloggers and some news reports in Ukraine said that Ukrainian projectiles had struck an ammunition dump on a military base used for training, and that it continued to burn for hours after it first erupted.

A regional official said Ukrainian forces had destroyed a major Russian ammunition dump in occupied Kherson region, part of a weeks-long effort by Kyiv to wreak havoc with Russian supply lines.

Ukrainian forces blew up an ammunition dump in territory occupied by Russian troops in southern Ukraine, Ukrainian military officials and local authorities said on Sunday, in the latest in a series of recent strikes aimed at making it more difficult for Moscow to fend off Ukraine’s counteroffensive.

The first job of his battalion, he said, was “to guard an ammunition dump and the first night it got struck. You didn’t know where you were to go. Bullets were going all over the place. But we ducked it.”
