A Second Russian Ammo Dump Consumed In Mushroom Cloud
Published 2 months ago
This bystander-provided footage shows the devastating explosion and secondary detonations at a Russian ammo dump in Tikhoretsk, a town in Krasnodar Krai, Russia. The strike occurred during the night of 21 September, 2024. Intelligence reports from late last year indicated that this facility is where munitions purchased from North Korea were stockpiled. The massive mushroom cloud and accompanying conflagration seem to lend credence to the theory. The secondary explosions, flashing like lightning under the rumbling, roiling smoke clouds of the first jaw-slackening explosion, are beautiful in a terrible way. It's like watching a thunderhead roll across a distant plain as the human brain tries to connect them to something that makes natural sense. And then the realization of what this is, what it means and is a part of, comes hurtling back in with the shockwave.
