Video: Warehouses on fire in Akulovo, near Moscow
On Sunday, August 23, a large-scale fire broke out at a warehouse in the village of Akulovo, near Moscow. The cause of the fire is currently unknown.
This was reported by monitoring Telegram channels.
Eyewitnesses shared photos and videos from the scene. The footage shows a thick column of black smoke rising above Akulovo.
At the same time, there have been no reports of a drone attack in this area. It is also currently unknown what exactly was stored in these warehouses.
As a reminder, Ukrainian Armed Forces drones flew as far as the Arkhangelsk Oblast—located approximately 1,900 km from the border with Ukraine—for the first time. Their target may have been the Plesetsk Cosmodrome, Russia’s only active military spaceport.
Robert Brovdi (call sign “Madyar”), commander of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ Unmanned Systems Forces, reported on August 23 on the results of operations against Russian terrorist targets.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces carried out localized counterattacks and advanced in several sectors of the front. According to the Institute for the Study of War, Ukrainian forces halted the Russian advance in the Kozacha Lopana area and also achieved successes near Kostiantynivka and in the Zaporizhzhia region.
