Apparently, Ukrainian drones pushed through and started a chain reaction.

> Explosions reportedly continued for hours, and authorities evacuated nearby settlements. Initial reports indicate that the site, previously protected by one of Russia鈥檚 densest air defense networks, suffered catastrophic damage.

This is 250kt. Not every explosive is TNT and most munitions have a non explosive component.

Yep. Makes a nice change from all of the non-literal "slammed" claims in a lot of the headlines I see these days.

It is nice seeing a headline using words like "obliterated" and it being an accurate description of what the article reports in the body.

So nice. How much death and suffering all this explosives would cause. It feels very warm in my heart to know if wont be used

See, drones don't have much ammo, so you fly it to a place that DOES have a lot of ammo, and then you push the button
