Summary

Two massive explosions occurred near Russia’s Arctic naval base in Severomorsk, home to the Northern Fleet, sparking speculation about the cause.

The blasts were near key military sites, including airfields, ammunition depots, and electronic warfare installations. While the cause remains unknown, theories include sabotage, munitions disposal, or UAV strikes.

The base is crucial for Arctic sea route control, nuclear submarines, and missile operations, including Kalibr strikes on Ukraine.

If Ukraine is responsible, the attack could escalate the war, especially if long-range weapons were used.

        With the exact same number of weapons and ammo. Stuff ain’t cheap or easy to come by, plus they can use rocks.

      Standard Newsweek bullshit, Ukrainian military victories are always just justifications for some unspecified “escalation” by Russia.

      At least it is in all other Russian propaganda.
