Massive explosions at Russian military base near Murmansk

I am seeing this story on numerous Norwegian news sites, but it’s not yet widely reported in the English-speaking press, with the exception of the niche website The Barents Observer.

The explosions took place Wednesday near the HQ of Russia's Northern Fleet, more specifically at the Severomorsk-1 naval base. This base has considerable weapons and munitions depots, fuel storage facilities, and a naval airport. The explosions happened on Wednesday afternoon between 2:24 and 2:27pm UTC. Some observers believe the explosions happened in the air above the base.

No word yet on the damage, or whether this is an accident or possible Ukrainian sabotage or attack.

Hmm. Seems pretty distant but hey, good to strike anytime anywhere if it is indeed SBU or HUR behind this

Given that's near the Arctic Circle it would be logistically extremely impressive if Ukraine was behind that.

they are extremely impressive in this game(the hit on the General the other day was a masterpiece); not saying it was them but it would not surprise me
