A Ukrainian drone strike has targeted the 13th GRAU arsenal in Russia’s Novgorod region, a facility critical to Moscow’s military operations.

Located approximately 680 kilometers from Ukraine’s border, the strike was reported by Ukraine’s Center for Countering Disinformation (CCD) on November 20.

This site is no ordinary depot—it serves as a high-value storage hub for some of Russia's most advanced weaponry.

Stockpiled at the facility are Iskander ballistic missiles, North Korean KN-23 missiles, and a range of rockets for multiple launch systems such as Grad, Smerch, and Uragan.

The arsenal also contains artillery shells, mortar mines, anti-aircraft missiles for the S-300 and S-400 systems, and ammunition for Tor missile systems.

The CCD has not yet confirmed the extent of the damage or whether the strike resulted in any casualties.

This isn’t the first time Ukraine has reportedly struck deep into Russian territory.

Ukraine’s Main Intelligence Directorate (HUR) previously announced a successful strike on a command post for Russia’s "Sever" (North) military group in the city of Gubkin, Belgorod region.
