I think the previous winner was the RU hitting a laydown yard for expired RU booster rockets from the space program, although the place escapes me.

"Mostly Peaceful protests" if you catch my drift.
I have seen some videos which suggest the explosions came from the underground bunker complex which means the entire depot is toast.
Another massive screw up for RU air defense.

Update.
Kursk region.
In the west Russia's counter-attack is slowing down. They've reached Nikolaev-Dar'ino and Dar'ino, with some sources suggesting Russia already has them under control. Russian forces also are counter-attacking in the eastern part of the Sudzha salient, pushing into Borki and reportedly taking it. They've captured another M113, with an interesting looking turret. In the north-western part Ukrainian forces have recaptured Ol'govka and are contesting the villages of Matveevka and Vetreno, but of course this precarious salient of a salient is hanging on a road that's uncomfortably close to Russian positions west of Korenevo. Meanwhile Ukraine is still attacking Glushkovskiy area, where they pushed towards Veseloe but failed to take it and are now pushing on Vol'fino, west of it. I have a suspicion that this offensive was supposed to happen after Ukraine isolated the area, to defeat Russian forces. However now that Russian forces have repelled attacks on Korenevo, and have retaken Snagost', these attacks are trying to halt Russia's push east-ward.
On a side note I don't think I've seen this many BMDs in action all in one place since the war started.

Russian forces have captured an M113 and BRDM-2 in Kursk region. Ex-WarPac kit like BRDM-2s, BMP-1s, MT-LBs, that get captured are easy to turn to Russian service and this is a fairly common occurrence. However there has to be a point where Russia amasses enough captured M113s where it makes sense to start using them, and I'm wondering how far away that point is.

Oskol front.
Russian forces pushing out of the Peschanoe salient have expanded their area northward, southward, and westward. The Ukrainian attack towards Tabaevka reported in the iirc last update has apparently been repelled and the ground it captured retaken by Russia. On the western side they've approached the significant road that runs from Borovoe to Kupyansk. Two villages, Glushkovka, and Kolesnikovka, are sitting right there on the road. If that supply route is cut, and it might already be, the Kupyansk area on the left shore for Ukraine becomes effective a salient. Russia continues to bite of pieces on the left shore of the Zherebets, around Makeevka and Stel'makhovka and has started a push towards Nevskoe.
Note I've recombined the Kupyansk and Oskol areas for now to save on time but the fighting is definitely happening in two different efforts. Around Kupyansk the attempt is definitely to close the loop around the Ukrainian salient on the right shore of the Oskol and then squeeze to Kupyansk itself. On the Oskol front there is a general effort to push Ukraine out past the Zherebets.

Oskol front.
Russian forces pushing out of the Peschanoe salient have expanded their area northward, southward, and westward. The Ukrainian attack towards Tabaevka reported in the iirc last update has apparently been repelled and the ground it captured retaken by Russia. On the western side they've approached the significant road that runs from Borovoe to Kupyansk. Two villages, Glushkovka, and Kolesnikovka, are sitting right there on the road. If that supply route is cut, and it might already be, the Kupyansk area on the left shore for Ukraine becomes effective a salient. Russia continues to bite of pieces on the left shore of the Zherebets, around Makeevka and Stel'makhovka and has started a push towards Nevskoe.
Note I've recombined the Kupyansk and Oskol areas for now to save on time but the fighting is definitely happening in two different efforts. Around Kupyansk the attempt is definitely to close the loop around the Ukrainian salient on the right shore of the Oskol and then squeeze to Kupyansk itself. On the Oskol front there is a general effort to push Ukraine out past the Zherebets.

Ukrainsk has fallen and Russia has pushed southward towards Gornyak and westward towards Tsukurino, sort of. Really it's north of Tsukurino and looks like it's aimed at the mine complex north of it, but this is probably a pre-requisite for taking Tsukurino. This suggests the real directionality of Russia's offensive remains southward. Pokrovsk is probably safe for many months to come, and the real goal is at least to secure the entire right shore of the Volchya, possibly also push out to the reservoir. On the shore of Volchya itself Russian forces have taken Zhelannoe Pervoe, making Ukrainian positions west of the Volchya mostly untenable and the Ukrainian salient there continues to shrink. West of Krasnogorovka Russian forces have advanced inside Maksimil'yanovka, and taken some of the fields north of it.

A column of Russian T-62Ms passes by a rare Khrizantema ATGM carrier. One of the tanks apparently breaks down. Note the improvised roof coverings, not even cages. It raises questions. Until now the T-62Ms all came from the 61st Armored Repair Plant and other then the two btlns pulled in '22 they mostly went through the same program, getting more ERA, standard roof cages, and a thermal sight. This roof cage suggests this batch didn't get the mod'22 treatment raising a question. Is Russia pulling tanks through somewhere else that doesn't do the upgrades? Or are there supply bottlenecks and the 61st factory can't do the upgrades? I suspect it's the former, since even with a shortage of thermals (and it's not clear there is one) there's certainly no shortage of metal for factory-made roof cages.

A column of Russian T-62Ms passes by a rare Khrizantema ATGM carrier. One of the tanks apparently breaks down. Note the improvised roof coverings, not even cages. It raises questions. Until now the T-62Ms all came from the 61st Armored Repair Plant and other then the two btlns pulled in '22 they mostly went through the same program, getting more ERA, standard roof cages, and a thermal sight. This roof cage suggests this batch didn't get the mod'22 treatment raising a question. Is Russia pulling tanks through somewhere else that doesn't do the upgrades? Or are there supply bottlenecks and the 61st factory can't do the upgrades? I suspect it's the former, since even with a shortage of thermals (and it's not clear there is one) there's certainly no shortage of metal for factory-made roof cages.

I don't think Ukrainian drones could destroy underground bunkers. Some type of missiles maybe, but drones?
Instead I have read or heard that some ammunitions were stored outside. Then, other sources said that the bunker were targeted and destroyed.
Finaly, a Kiev Post article talks about Ukrainian jet powered drone (or small cruise missiles). This looks more probable. But I didn't know that they could fly 500 km.
According to the Kiev Post, witnesses heard jet engines and saw jet aircraft flying at very low altitude before hearing the detonations.
Around 100 of such mini cruise missile could have been used in the operation. This suggests that Ukrainians kept secret this weapon until last week when they hit an air base and burnt fuel tanks. This was the first raid with these missiles. Toropets would be the second.
Zelensky is asking for the right to use Western missile deep inside Russia. Well, je may not need it after all.
One of the first reaction, not officially linked to the Toropets attack but it's no coincidence, was to treathen a nuclear war (Reuters) with the West should this authorisation be given to Ukraine.
Here is a second article from the Kiev Post, completing somewhat the other one.
And more videos from pro-Ukraine chanel Canal3.
In this war Ukrainian successes have often been a combination of the two. Recently Russians brought there North Korean missiles. They may have found no place inside the bunker as well as other ammunition deliveries. making their storage there extremely dangerous.Feanor said:
But why on Hell, do the Russians concentrate so much explosive in one place? They really look for troubles...

From what I understand, it could have been through the Czech Initiative. India denies.
No matter what, that would be a diplomatic blow to Putin if India knew that the deliveries were going to Ukraine.

Here is the Ukrinform report from two days ago.

They began one year ago. A few days ago I also read an article on Ukrinform telling the same thing. They claimed to have double and plan to quadrupled production. But as no number is provided, I didn't deem useful to report that here. The number of shells produced is certainly not very big. So dounbling production is not difficult.Feanor said:
Yes. It's a light protection. IMO they wouldn't use it if it was totally useless. IMO, it depends on the type of drone and the angle of attack. Obviously it won;t stop a lancet.Feanor said:
The main advantage of the foldable net is that it can be easily unfolded not to impede the use of turret devices and gun. I have seen fixed, heavy anti-drone cages on a Russian IFV which completely prevented the use of the turret machine gun.
Its light weigh is also an advantage. Heavy cages could add one ton of metal on top of the tank.
I wondered at the weight of the Turtle/Hangar tanks. Not the best for speed and nimbleness.Feanor said:
This last version makes more sens... But still...
I don't know if it will be useful in the long term. The Ukrainian Navy has never targeted the bridge with their sea drones or maybe they tried but noticed it's not an effective way. It they want to destroy the bridge, the will do it with a projectile with a vertical trajectory.Feanor said:

I have now seen satellite photos of ammunition crates being stored near the bunker openings. A chain reaction set everything off, if I had to guess. Bad spacing, blast doors being open, etc. There was a famous case like this in 1944 where a US fighter shot up a truck at the tail end in a convoy carrying torpedoes into a German bunker, and they went up in sequence until it reached the bunker, and the entire thing went up at once. Its in the US official histories, but I cant find it off the top of my head.

Backing up my claims over the past couple of years kind of post, from past to present and future. It just happened to be so that there were a few articles in the past few days that I can cite as further references for my past claims, some previously supported by other citations, others just opinion.
www.nytimes.com
I’ve said before they are going to struggle with the legal framework for this. And this is just the surface of it that should be easily fixable, but nothing is easy in Europe (well, anywhere, really). Basically 3 months after the decision was made, we now find out that this isn’t necessarily going to happen unless Euros change their laws in regard to sanctions or Americans step up again (highly unlikely). Yet, some/many have already cut their aid budgets citing this $50B loan as a given.
Another thing to note, the article mentions that the US has so far provided about $175 billion in aid to Ukraine. Of this money, $114B were provided for “defense-related” priorities.
Zelensky was advised by some of the Ukrainian top brass not to invade Kursk. Some were dismissed as a result. Zaluzhny's advice was apparently the same.
www.politico.eu
Interestingly, Zaluzhny, according to the article, asked the exact same thing I did here over a month ago:
Zaluzhny’s objection to the incursion, meanwhile, was that there was no clear second step after the border had been successfully breached by elite Ukrainian units drawn from four brigades, according to these officials. Zaluzhny queried: once you have the bridgehead, what then? “He never got a clear answer from Zelenskyy,” said one of the officials. “He felt it was a gamble,” he said.
Don’t want to look for my posts from the past on this subject (and I had at least two that I can remember of), but I claimed (and supported my claims with appropriate references) that the Ukrainian population currently sits at no more than 25 million people. Unfortunately, as of recently, I no longer have subscription to the Wall Street Journal, but here is an excerpt from their recent article that cites the exact same number:
To note here, these government estimates are probably on the high end of the spectrum, in my opinion. This is from Rob Lee’s thread on X: x.com. I wonder if the article also talks about the number of people who are basically going to pass within the next 20 years (makority likely way before that), which is at least 10 million - ie, those who are currently collecting pension (I talked about it a while ago and provided the Ukrainian government data for the support of the claim). The same thread also quotes another part of the article where it is said that this is the reason Zelensky is refusing to mobilize those aged between 18 and 25 - most of these men didn’t have children yet.
From the same thread: the article also talks about the Ukrainian troop casualties on the frontline and beyond:
A couple of things here. One is, how much “earlier this year” are we talking about? And two, I would think it is safe to assume that the number of permanently departed Russians is likely significantly below 200,000 because the wounded to killed ratio is not at all convincing (almost as if two numbers were taken form two different estimates). But we also discussed that extensively previously with various citations, as well as simple discussion, etc.
After we surrendered Novobakhmutivka, Ocheretyne and Soloviovo, the front started to collapse at the rate we’re seeing now.
Ok, this last one is a (part) joke and it is a play of words to amplify the significance (but is not far from reality). The above is from an excellent article at the Ukrainska Pravda. It is in English, so I won’t cut and translate and paste anything and I highly recommend reading it:
www.pravda.com.ua
One thing I will paste on the subject of refusing to mobilize the younger crowd since it was discussed just above:
The mobilisation failed. Let's be honest – each subsequent replenishment was less motivated and trained.
And a key, in my opinion:
The Pokrovsk front is the most striking example of how the state and society failed to cope with mobilisation in the third year of the full-scale war. And the new mobilisation law proved not to hold out a lifeline.
More to discuss, but it is late here now, so another day.
Last comment. On the munitions storage in the Tver strike… I believe there is something to ponder about, including the declared and discussed shortage of ammunition and missiles in Russia. One could suggest that there is currently an overproduction compared to the use of munitions on the frontline - I would think it is pretty clear it was full up the wazoo. Budanov also suggests that he doesn’t want to be a doomer, but this is the reality:
"Production [of guided aerial bombs] has increased – I don't want to scare anyone, but by several times, let's say."
Budanov also noted that the Russians have made significant progress in Iskander missile production, which has become "massive".

I think this screenshot of the developing Russian offensive on the Kurakhovo axis is an illustration of the real targets of the offensive that was initially thought to be aimed at Pokrovsk. The green parts are the latest advances. This illustrates why some have called it dishonest when Ukrainian officialdom talks about "no advances in the direction of Pokrovsk". There are also no advances in the direction of Gulyaypole. So what? Map taken from Kalibrated.

It's a big war and Russia was clearly not prepared for it. Presumably this extends to munition storage as much as it does to other things.
It's almost certainly a move taken against Ukraine. The law theoretically would apply to both parties but it's almost guaranteed to have one-sided enforcement.
There have been several videos of the new drone cage, including ones posted here, where it didn't stop a basic FPV drone. I'm sure it's not totally useless, probably stopping drone-dropped munitions. But if it consistently fails to stop FPV drones, that's a problem.
Clearly intelligence went into the design. It folds well, and it slopes over the rear, a likely direction for drone attacks. The main question is whether it's strong enough to do the job.
On the one hand this is definitely a problem. The flip side is that Soviet designs tended to be light-weight and very mobile, so you tend to get good results sacrificing some mobility for protection. Up armored BMP-2s and 3s don't have mobility problems despite the extra weight. Ditto for the BTR-82AM.
It might be the logic of "better to have and not need". We also don't know what the finished structure will look like. Maybe it's a parking area for Pantsyr SAMs to cover more of the middle of the bridge?
It was true that the advance directly into the city of Pokrovsk was stopped. However it's not true that the Pokrovsk Front has stabilised. Russians move forward wherever it's possible. They can't move on Pokrovsk proper any more, they move south of it, or north of it. Their goal is to move forward.Feanor said:
Russian's advance will continue as long as they have numerical superiority. It's nothing surprising. Ukrainians too, make mistakes and can be demoralized or poorly trained. And when that happen they can't withstand assaults from a numerically superior enemy. Superior both in men and in weapons and ammunitions.

So far, there were only two successful attacks on the bridge. One happened in… October, 2022? A truck driving on the bridge exploded, causing damage. Due to luck, there happened to be a train on the rail bridge as well at the moment pulling some flammable material, which significantly increased the damage. The second happened in July 2023. Two loaded sea drones exploded under the bridge, causing damage and killing two people and injuring another. Repairs took 3 months, ie the bridge was partially closed for 3 months.

I would say it is true that the main push toward the Pokrovsk city had stopped. That it was stopped is not necessarily true. Going south and east bears much greater rewards, in my opinion.
What you wrote implies that the there is no strategy or plan whatsoever. I highly doubt this is the case and something tells me that their planning abilities are significantly better than often suggested. And one part of the plan is becoming quite apparent now. They also have options in their current planning, clearly.

I believe the directionality of the offensive indicates intent, and the intent is a drive southward along the western shore of the Volchya. I don't doubt that they will try to take Pokrovsk eventually, but they will likely have to take Selidovo first, and right now they're not going in that direction yet, though the last push south of Selidovo is suggesting. I would not be surprised if we see the fall of Gornyak and Kurakhovka before we see the fall of Selidovo, which itself would be a pre-requisite for attacking Pokrovsk. This is why I posted that screenshot. It illustrates very well what Russia is doing, and they're not trying to take Pokrovsk. They're trying to get the front to the northern shore of the Kurakhovo reservoire, and threaten the town from the north and the east. Consider how it dovetails with their actions against Ugledar. Assuming they succeed on all sides (and yes I know this is an assumption but we're trying to glean intent/plans here) you have the entire southern-Donetsk area falling. Compared to that actually taking Pokrovsk would be a smaller impact.

New BDA on the Toropets strike. Very impressive results.
Russians couldn't take Pokrovsk frontally, using of a surprise effect which would have destabilised the whole Ukrainian defence aparatus. So they decided to change their momentary strategy.
Their plan is to take as much of Ukraine as they can. If possible all the region east and south of the Dniepr. Whether they start in one place and continue in another is of little significance as long as they gain more acreage. There are attacks, bombing and shelling constantly all along the front line. Just read Ukrinform to see where bombs, shells and rockets are falling daily. It's in many areas we never talk about. Their strategy is to push everywhere at the same time. Incidentally they had an opportunity to get close to Pokrovsk and then, they moved more troops in this direction because that's where they had successes. I don't think that they chose to take Pokrovsk more than Chasiv Yar, Lyman or Vuhledar.
The attack on Kharkiv was more planned, thought.

Yes, I have seen them. I'm still wondering what type of drone were used and how they could destroy concrete bunkers. It looks like they were concret bunkers in the south and hangars on the north. Half of the bunkers exploded while nearly all the hangars were damaged or destroyed.
It's possible that the concrete of the bunkers was thin and of poor quality and Ukrainians knew that. They knew that they had a chance to destroy them with the payload carried by their Pancake cruise missiles/drones (forgot the real name in Ukrainian). It also require high precision to hit the bunker where they could collapse. Maybe the hangars too, were weaker than originally planned, with undulated metal sheets on light structures.
The high quantity of Pancake drones is also a mystery to me.
If you add a second destruction of this magnitude on another major base to a victory in the Kursk Region, IMO, Ukraine will win the war.
