A powerful explosion rocked a building just 150 feet from a military situation room frequently used by Russian President Vladimir Putin in Rostov-on-Don Thursday.
The blast, which the Kremlin said was from shooting down an airstrike, tore apart facades, smashed windows in three buildings and damaged several parked cars next to the headquarters of the Russian Southern Military District, according to the Independent, citing the state-owned RIA news agency.
One person was injured, according to regional Governor Vasily Golubev.
Video footage of the early morning attack showed a massive fireball rising into the sky in a developed area of the southern city.
“Look at this: I’m scared to even walk here. Oh Lord, the street is all covered in glass!,” said Araik Krist as he filmed himself walking at 3 a.m. on Pushinskaya Street, an area full of fancy restaurants, according to the outlet.
Rostov-on-Don is only about 60 miles from Ukraine, but has largely been spared from counterattacks because Russia is in control of the neighboring territories.
Four other drone strikes were shot down overnight, including one that was aimed at the Moscow area.
Falling debris from one thwarted attack in Bryansk shattered windows in a train station and damaged cars nearby, Interfax news agency said.
A residential building in Enerhodar was also struck in the Russian-controlled part of Ukraine several miles from Europe’s largest nuclear power plant, according to Russian-appointed Governor Yevgeny Balitsky. --->READ MORE HERE

Ukrainian troops continue to advance in parts of Zaporizhzhia Oblast, the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) wrote in its Sept. 6 report.
At the same time, Russian war commentators claim that Russian brigades in Ukraine lack sufficient supplies, particularly artillery munitions.
According to the ISW, Russian commentators who follow the war closely have claimed that troops are relying on "limited stockpiles" of artillery, thus "performing poorly along the front in Ukraine."
Complaints that the Russian military has inadequately equipped front-line soldiers have become common among certain Russian sources, causing tension with the Kremlin.
Artillery shortages remain an ongoing problem for Russian forces. The New York Times reported on Sept. 4 that Russia hopes to secure a deal with North Korea for additional artillery shells during Kim Jong-Un's planned visit to Vladivostok on Sept. 10-13. --->READ MORE HEREFollow links below to +++++relevant+++++ and related stories:
