Ukraine said it destroyed a large weapons stockpile in Russia overnight using long-range drones to stage the attack as Kyiv awaits US permission to use western-made missiles in such operations.
About 100 explosive-laden unmanned aircraft destroyed a large cache of Iskander and Tochka-U missiles as well as glide bombs in Toropets, a town in the Tver region of western Russia, Ukrainian military officials familiar with the matter said. The facility was situated nearly 500 kilometers (310 miles) from Ukraine’s northern border.
