Ukraine attack on Russian missile depot triggers mini earthquake

Ukraine has blown up a Russian ammunition dump triggering an explosion so powerful it was picked up by earthquake monitors. A huge explosion and mushroom cloud was seen coming from a vast warehouse complex in the city of Toropets, about 300 miles over the border from Ukraine, believed to house North Korean missiles and some of Russia’s most advanced weaponry including guided bombs, artillery and S-400s. The plumes of smoke rising from the fires were so large that they could be seen from space. The explosions also triggered seismic activity measuring 2.8 points on the Richter scale in the area. Videos from close to the depot showed a fireball lifting into the sky so bright it momentarily lit up the entire area for miles around, as shockwaves emanated from the blast area.
