1-3 - Belgorod. Initial information said there had been an accidental release of a Russian KAB. A little later, reports of secondary detonation started coming in - apparently, the AFU did in fact hit a large ammunition depot. The traces in the sky in the first photo also point to ammo detonation, and the third photo shows several fire hotspots, confirming the version that it was ammo.

4-7 - The oil depot at the "Sheskharis" terminal, Grushovaya Balka, Krasnodar Krai, 400 km from Ukraine. The oil depot is in the mountains at a considerable distance from populated areas, so the fire does not look as massive as in Tuapse or Ust-Labinsk, but judging by the fourth photo, the consequences are no less serious - there are 4 fire hotspots there, and locals reported that the explosions lasted about an hour.

8 - Confirmed: on the night of May 31, the Novoshakhtinsk oil refinery in Rostov Oblast was hit; satellite images were published by Exilenova+. The AVT-1 and AVT-2 units were hit. But the main thing is this: the strikes were carried out by Neptune cruise missiles. This is the second recorded time the Novoshakhtinsk refinery has been hit by Neptunes (before that, Neptunes struck it in December 2024, I updated this point). And note how accurately the missiles landed. The biggest difficulty with missiles, besides getting through air defense, is accuracy - they often fall short or veer off target. If the accuracy has been improved, that is a major breakthrough. 220 km from territory controlled by Ukraine. In 2026, this is the first time the Novoshakhtinsk refinery has been hit, and overall it is the seventh time (previous hits here). A reminder that Novoshakhtinsk was the very first refinery hit by a Ukrainian kamikaze drone, back in the distant year 2022 long before drones became mainstream.

9 - Protasovo airfield, Ryazan Oblast, a strike on the Protos research-and-production center for the development and manufacture of UAVs, which is located right on the airfield grounds, - Spy Dossier. "The drone guys got hit," says the off-camera commentator, likely an airfield employee. 500+ km from Ukraine. ASTRA reports that in addition to production, the site is used to train drone pilots, including schoolchildren.

10 - on the night of June 7 - the Semikolodezyanskaya oil depot, Yedi-Kuyu (Lenino), occupied Crimea, 250+ km from territory controlled by Ukraine. In eyewitness video, it is not visible how many tanks are burning, but there was first-person video from the Ukrainian SOF, who hit three tanks with drones.

When the Mishap Turned Into Ammunition

In Belgorod, an accidental release quickly became an ammo depot story.

The cover held until the second blast.
