Drones Hit Russia’s Novgorod Arsenal Stocked With Iskanders and North Korean Missiles

A drone strike targeted the 13th GRAU  arsenal near Kotovo in Russia’s Novgorod region, approximately 680 kilometers from Ukraine’s border, according to a report by Ukraine’s Center for Countering Disinformation (CCD)  on November 20.

The facility, a critical storage site for Russian military ordnance, houses a wide array of munitions, including Iskander ballistic missiles, North Korean KN-23 missiles, and rockets for multiple launch rocket systems such as Grad, Smerch, and Uragan.

Additionally, it stores artillery shells, mortar mines, anti-aircraft missiles for S-300 and S-400 systems, and ammunition for Tor missile systems.

The CCD did not confirm the extent of the damage or casualties resulting from the strike.

Previously, Ukraine’s Main Intelligence Directorate (HUR) announced that a command post of Russia’s “Sever” (North) military group was successfully struck in the city of Gubkin, Belgorod region.
