On the night of 17–18 September 2024, during the Russo-Ukrainian War, Ukraine launched a drone attack on the Main Missile and Artillery Directorate (GRAU) 107th arsenal ammunition depot in Toropets, causing a massive series of explosions and fires and shattering windows across nearby towns. The primary explosion caused a 82 m wide crater and a seismic wave of magnitude 2.5~2.8 on 18 September, 3:56 am, local time. Such supply chain disruption could reduce Russia's firepower in its war effort in Ukraine.
