Vladimir Putin has been dealt yet another blow as an ammunition warehouse in Russia reportedly went up in flames after a drone attack.

Thick plumes of smoke can be seen rising from a warehouse in a town part of the Podgorensky district in southwestern Russia.

The clips, circulating on the messaging platform Telegram, also portray loud bangs resembling explosions ongoing at the warehouse.

Aleksandr Gusev, the governor of the region, blamed the explosion on a Ukrainian attack, although he claimed the unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) deployed by Kyiv didn't directly hit the warehouse.

The damage, he claimed, was created by debris falling on the town's infrastructure after the air defence shot down the drones.
