Ukraine-Russia war latest: Blow to Putin’s forces as weapons destroyed while Zelensky demands battlefield wins

Ukraine’s military says it has struck a Russian weapons depot which was holding North Korean missiles more than 60 miles from the border.

The military said the arsenal, in Karachev, Bryansk Oblast, stored ammunition for missile and artillery weapons , including those delivered from North Korea, as well as guided aerial bombs.

Footage emerged overnight of the aftermath of the attack, showing flames burning in the area as the munitions dump exploded.

A state of emergency was declared in a district of western Bryansk following the detonation, state media site Tass reported. Local residents said air raid alerts started sounding around 2am local time.

It comes as Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky said the country needs to secure frontline results “faster” as he met with top commanders to discuss the development of domestically-produced weapons.

“In all of Ukraine’s missiles achievements, there must be more combat accomplishments both at the front and on Russian territory,” he said. “Results are needed faster. And all relevant tasks are now being carried out.”
