A huge kamikaze drone explosion hit close to Vladimir Putin‘s war command headquarters in Rostov-on-Don in the early hours of the morning.
Shocking footage shows a giant fireball rising up over the city, which lies near Russian-occupied Ukraine.
The explosion whipped up a savage blaze in the vicinity of the military HQ, which Putin is reported to have visited several times throughout the war.
Three buildings and several cars were damaged according to an initial assessment by Rostov region governor Vasily Golubev.
The war command bunker is at the HQ of Russia‘s Southern Military District in Rostov-on-Don.
It was here in June that slain Wagner warlord Yevgeny Prigozhin began his attempted coup against Putin’s regime, later staging a march towards Moscow.
