Putin beordrar styrkor att gå in i Ukraina - INVASION NU (2022-02-24)

The situation in Karabulak escalated rapidly, with reports of gunfire and explosions piercing the calm of the town. Special agents from the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) were deployed to confront what were believed to be Islamic State militants, planning a terrorist attack. The introduction of the counter-terrorist operation, as reported by TASS, underscores the gravity of the threat posed by these militants, not just to Karabulak but to the broader region of Ingushetia.

Russian security forces are engaged in armed conflict with alleged militants in the town of Karabulak in the Ingushetia republic, according to the Russian news source Baza.

Eyewitnesses reported that the firefight involved grenade launchers and automatic weapons, but that the shooting has died down.

The Cobasna Ammunition Depot itself is the Largest Arms Depot in Eastern Europe and contains up to 20,000 tons of Soviet-Era Arms and Munitions with reports done by the Moldavian Academy of Science stating that if the Depot was destroyed the explosion could be the size of the Atomic Bombs dropped on both Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
