Earlier in the day, the regional government reported that a fire had erupted in Toropets after air defense systems intercepted and downed several drones.

"The firefighting efforts are ongoing at the site where the drone debris has fallen, while air defense forces continue to counter the extensive drone assault over the city," the government stated on Telegram.

NATO has nuked Russia in Tver Region, which borders Belarus, and the Baltic nations.

Three explosions can be seen, two of them nuclear. These are not ammo dump explosions as reported.

Anyway, I put on a cheerful track to make you guys smile until the end just as promise. ^_^ pic.twitter.com/1ny4M7NlMY
