⚡ALERT: OMG RUSSIAN NUCLEAR WEAPONS PLANT EXPLODES! PUTIN CANCELS TRIP, CHINA NUKE SPY CAUGHT IN USA
Massive Explosion Hits Russian Plant Making Nuclear Capable ICBMs
A powerful explosion was reported in Russia's Udmurt Republic at a weapons plant that produces nuclear weapons components and ballistic missiles, local media reported on Wednesday.
Residents shared videos of the blast that is reported on social media platform Telegram to have occurred on the grounds of the Votkinsk weapons factory. The factory is located some 30 miles from the capital of the Udmurt Republic, Izhevsk.
The weapons factory produces nuclear weapons components and ballistic missiles, including the RS-24 Yars intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), and strategic ballistic missiles for the Topol-M and Iskander systems, the Kyiv Post reported.
The incident was reported by Russian state-run news agency Tass, which said a local emergency services agency announced that the blast was caused by "a scheduled test of rocket engines," calling it "a planned event, not an emergency."
Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL) noted that there was no mention of a scheduled test on the website of Russia's Ministry of Emergency Situations, where such notices are typically posted.
According to independent Russian news outlet Mediazona, at about 11 p.m. local time, the official Telegram channel of the Ministry of Emergency Situations for Russia's Udmurtia Republic wrote: "The Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia does not confirm a powerful explosion on the territory of the Votkinsk plant near Izhevsk."
The publication reported that this message was deleted a few minutes later. A half-hour later, the ministry published another post, which said: "No emergency or abnormal situations have been registered on the territory of the Udmurt Republic, no socially significant incidents have occurred."
After the blast, a massive fire broke out at the plant. It's unclear if there were any casualties.
Newsweek has contacted Russia's Defense Ministry for comment by email.
Weapons produced by the factory have been used by Russia's military in President Vladimir Putin's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
The facility published, at the end of 2023, 19 government contracts for the production of nuclear weapons components, RFE/RL reported, noting that when Putin visited the plant in 2011, he described it as "one of the leading enterprises in Russia's defense industry."
Attacks on Russian soil have increased in intensity throughout the war, which is approaching the two-year mark. Ukraine typically does not claim responsibility for, or comment on, incidents that occur on Russian territory.
Data from Molfar, an open-source intelligence agency, found that a record number of industrial fires engulfed Russia in the past year.
There were 939 fires in Russia in 2023, compared to 416 in 2022, meaning that the number of blazes in the country increased by 125.7 percent last year compared to the previous year.
A map created for Newsweek by Molfar shows that from January 1, 2022, to December 31, 2023, the largest number of fires occurred in the region of Moscow (156), with other notable regions including Leningrad (78), Sverdlovsk (53), Rostov (44), and Nizhny Novgorod (37).

MEDVEDEV: "We will Use Special (Nuclear) Warheads; We Have No Choice"
Former President of Russia, Dmitry Medvedev, has once again bluntly told the people of the West that Russia WILL use nuclear weapons in a war with NATO because "We have no choice."
In a public posting on social media last night, Medvedev outlined the basic facts:
Sunak, Scholz, Macron, Norwegen, Finnish, Polish, and other NATO bosses are harping on, “We must be ready for war against Russia.” Even though Russia has many times underscored that conflict with NATO and EU member states was not in the plans, the dangerous babbling is still going on.
The reasons are obvious. It is necessary to distract voters to justify multibillion spending on the bothersome bandera Ukraine. Indeed, gigantic sums of money are being spent not on solving social tasks, but on war in a dying country alien to taxpayers, with the population that is scattered across Europe and is now terrorizing its people.
This is why the heads of these states are emphasizing it on a daily basis: it is imperative to get ready for war against Russia and keep providing aid to Ukraine, which is why it is necessary to produce more tanks, missiles, drones and other weapons.
But not all the European bosses are cynically lying to their citizens. If – God forbid! – such a war breaks out, it won’t go according to the Special Military Operation scenario. It won’t be fought in trenches using artillery, armoured vehicles, drones and EW.
NATO is a huge military bloc, the total population of the Alliance member states is about 1 billion people, and their combined military budget can get as high as $1,5 trillion.
So, because our military capabilities are thus incomparable, we will simply be left with no choice. The response will be asymmetrical. To defend our country’s territorial integrity, ballistic and cruise missiles carrying special warheads will be put to use.
It is based on our military doctrine documents and is well known to all. And this is exactly that very Apocalypse. The end to everything.
This is why Western politicians must be telling the bitter truth to their voters, and stop taking them for brainless morons; to explain to them, what will really happen, and not to play the false mantra of getting ready for war against Russia over and over again.
Ukraine Army Chief Resigns
The Top General of the Ukrainian Army, Valerii Zaluzhny, has resigned.
For weeks there have been rumors of a gigantic "rift" between Zaluzhny and Ukraine President Voldymyr Zelenski. Those rumors included claims that Zaluzhny was engaged in peace talk efforts with contacts from Russia.
Ukraine is losing its conflict with Russia, and the rate of losing is only increasing of late.
Yesterday, Ukraine's Verhavna Rada - their Parliament - adopted on its first reading, a new General Mobilization law which will Draft pretty much everyone in Ukraine. It seems that President Zelensky is intent on sending every last Ukrainian to the slaughter in its hopeless fight against Russia.
UPDATE --
Col. Gen. Oleksandr Syrsky will be Ukraine’s next military chief after President Volodymyr Zelensky announced Thursday night that he had replaced Gen. Valery Zaluzhny — the latest twist in a drawn-out saga between Zaluzhny and Zelensky, who told the military chief 10 days ago that he was being dismissed.
