Can you imagine being a guard at that location? Prior to the attack thinking. Man! I’m so lucky to be at this chill location, instead of Ukraine front.

And by “claims”, they mean it was visible from orbit and showed up on seismographs all over the world.
Also, it’s now daylight and it’s still exploding.

Why can’t Ukraine start putting prices on Putin and his allies
A news report I read earlier today states the blast was so hard that it triggered a very minor earthquake.
The blast wave from one of the explosions is [absolute insane to watch.](https://x.com/TheDeadDistrict/status/1836240051648262198)
