‘Mystery’ Blast Rocks One Of Russia’s Largest Ammo Manufacturing Plants<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

An explosion of unknown cause has rocked one of\u00a0Russia\u2019s largest ammunition manufacturing plants<\/strong>, according to officials in central Russia’s Perm region, which lies about 1,000km east of Moscow.<\/p>\n

“Windows and doors were broken [but] there are no victims, there is no threat to the populace,” a statement said. “The incident did not affect the plant\u2019s production process.”<\/p>\n

\u26a1\ufe0fAn explosion occurred at a military factory in Russia’s #Perm<\/a> Krai.<\/p>\n

Throughout more than a year-and-a-half of war, there have been dozens of similar incidents at various Russian facilities ranging from military warehouses to oil facilities to electrical grid stations and energy pipelines.<\/p>\n

Both Ukrainian and US media have at times admitted some of these instances are part of a covert Ukrainian sabotage campaign with the assistance of Western intelligence. So naturally, when a new explosion happens, there’s an immediate question of whether it is connected to sabotage, or an industrial accident<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The new incident, resulting in apparent damage to the Solikamsk Plant Ural, is raising eyebrows also given it’s a facility under Russian defense giant Rostec<\/a>:\u00a0<\/p>\n

Images shared on social media appeared to show a plume of smoke rising from the plant following the blast, but The Moscow Times could not independently verify the photos.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

An unnamed local emergency official\u00a0told<\/a>\u00a0the news website Podyom that the explosion did not cause a fire or impact work at the plant.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cAll in all, the situation is calm,\u201d the official said. Solikamsk Plant Ural, part of the defense conglomerate Rostec, is one of Russia\u2019s largest manufacturers of gunpowder and explosives<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n

Earlier this month, at a time the globe’s attention has by and large been completely focused on events in Gaza,\u00a0The Washington Post<\/em><\/a>\u00a0published a bombshell report\u00a0openly admitting that the CIA is actively running covert ops inside Russia<\/strong>, which has included\u00a0the killing of journalist and geopolitical commentator\u00a0Darya Dugina.<\/p>\n

Russia is ramping up production capacity and building military plants across the country<\/p>\n

The report stunningly laid out that as part of this shadow war, “The missions have involved elite teams of Ukrainian operatives drawn from directorates that were\u00a0formed, trained, and equipped in close partnership with the CIA,\u00a0<\/strong>according to current and former Ukrainian and US officials.\u00a0Since 2015, the CIA has spent tens of millions of dollars to transform Ukraine\u2019s Soviet-formed services into potent allies against Moscow<\/strong>, officials said.”<\/p>\n

Whether this latest blast is part of this covert ops program or not (perhaps just a ‘normal’ accident?), it will certainly be a plausible question in the minds of the Russians.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
