Electricity and water were also cut off in the area after the blast, according to Russian media MK.RU. Local media reported on the morning of June 11 that a military unit had caught fire in a neighborhood in Klintsy. The fire was extinguished and its cause is currently being investigated. And on June 10, a group of Ukrainian “saboteurs” were accused of crossing into the Bryansk region, News.ru reported. The latest incident also follows reports of explosions Monday and Saturday in the Klintsovsky and Starodubsky areas near the Bryansk region. Russia’s independent news agency iStories reported that a military base was targeted on Saturday. Newsweek could not independently verify the reports and contacted the Ukrainian Defense Ministry and Russian authorities for comment. Residents of a Russian town near the border with Ukraine said they witnessed a helicopter attack on a military base on Tuesday morning. @ PaUm_ma5 / URA.RU/Twitter/ Telegram According to the independent English-language and Russian-language online newspaper The Moscow Times, the 28th Separate Motorized Bridge is located in Klintsy and is part of a motorized infantry division and the 20th Combined Army of Russian Land Forces. In recent weeks, many Russian areas near the border with Ukraine have reported unexplained explosions in military and industrial areas. In Kursk, videos posted on social media reported explosions in the area. Two oil depots in Bryansk are also believed to have been hit by Ukrainian missiles on April 25, and an ammunition depot also caught fire near the village of Staraya Nelidovka in the Belgorod region, Newsweek reported earlier. Kyiv has so far denied accusations from Moscow of attacking checkpoints and Russian targets across the border. The war in Ukraine, which was started by Russian President Vladimir Putin, has now exceeded the 100-day limit. Russia’s focus now is on fully occupying the Luhansk and Donetsk regions of Ukraine. Conflict is now escalating in the strategic city of Severodonetsk, which could determine the fate of Ukraine’s Donbas region.
