What started as another day in Russia’s Far East quickly turned into a fiery scene on the highway.
A truck—suspected to be carrying Ukrainian drones—blew up near the village of Seryshevo in the Amur Region, and the dramatic moment was caught on camera.
Explosion Caught on Video as Man Approaches the Truck
In one of the circulated videos, thick smoke is already rising from the back of the vehicle.
Then, just as a man approaches and climbs inside, the truck suddenly explodes.
Several people were seen nearby at the time, but there’s still no official word on whether anyone was hurt in the blast.
Location Raises Eyebrows Due to Nearby Military Airfield
The explosion happened right off a highway near Seryshevo, a village that happens to be located close to a military airfield.
While the full intent behind the vehicle’s journey isn’t confirmed, it’s widely believed the truck was meant to target that very facility.
If that’s the case, the attack seems to have been stopped just in time.
Larger Pattern Emerges as Ukraine Steps Up Drone Activity
This wasn’t an isolated event. Just a day earlier, on June 1, waves of Ukrainian drones were reportedly launched at several Russian regions—including deep into Siberia.
One of the key targets, according to Irkutsk Region Governor Igor Kobzev, was a military site in the village of Sredny.
Eyewitnesses Say the Drones Were Launched from Trucks
Adding to the mystery and concern, locals in both Irkutsk and Murmansk said they saw drones being launched directly from trucks.
This suggests a mobile, guerrilla-style strategy, making detection and prevention a lot harder.
What Comes Next?
This latest failed attack underscores both the evolving nature of drone warfare and the increasing tension between Russia and Ukraine far from the front lines.
With drones now being launched from moving vehicles, it’s clear that the tactics are changing—and fast.
More updates are expected as Russian authorities continue their investigation and reports emerge about any injuries or arrests.
