One of the largest ammunition depots belonging to Russia’s ministry of defence is engulfed in flames after an apparent explosion.

Footage shared on Telegram shows a fireball erupting into the sky about 330 miles from the Russian border with Ukraine.

The inferno is located in the Vladimir Region, in the Kirzhach District, near the village of Barsovo.

Alexander Avdeev, Russian governor for the region, confirmed the incident on VKontakte, saying: ‘An explosion occurred in the Kirzhach district.

‘Responsible services are working on the scene. More detailed information will be reported later. I urge journalists, bloggers, and residents to refrain from disseminating any information about the incident for safety reasons and in compliance with regional legislation until verified official data is received.’

Russian state media Tass reported that residents of Barsovo are being evacuated as the fire continues to rage.

The cause of the explosion remains unclear and officials have veered off from commenting on it.

Internally, Russian weapon depots, factories and rail routes have suffered in the hands of saboteurs fighting against the invasion.

But Ukraine has also been targeting key infrastructure to slow down the army’s advances and prevent replenishing of ammunition.

The incident comes after Vladimir Putin launched brutal new daytime strikes on civilians in Ukraine leaving a trail of death and destruction with children among the injured.

Volodymyr Zelensky accused him of ‘absolutely deliberate Russian terror’, with at least 22 injured in Zaporizhzhia, and one woman killed.
