Eyewitnesses on Russian social media said there were multiple explosions near Chaltyr, indicating a secondary detonation of ammunition.

Quote from the source: "The SSU, working with the Ukrainian Navy, hit a crucial target – a warehouse containing reconnaissance drones that adjust enemy attacks on Ukrainian cities and the front line. Now there will be fewer Russian ‘birds’ [drones] in the sky. Work on military targets in the enemy's rear will continue."
