The claim states that on 18 September 2024, Ukrainian drone strikes hit a major Russian ammunition depot in Toropets, causing an enormous blast. However, all provided sources report a Russian drone strike on a Ukrainian ammunition depot near Kyiv in August 2026, not a Ukrainian strike on Toropets in 2024. No source mentions Toropets or any Ukrainian strike on Russian territory on that date. The consensus contradicts the claim, so it is false.
The claim that Ukrainian drones struck a Russian ammunition depot in Toropets on 18 September 2024 is not supported by any of the provided sources. Instead, the sources describe a Russian drone attack on a Ukrainian ammunition depot near Kyiv in August 2026, which caused explosions and casualties. There is no mention of Toropets or any Ukrainian strike on Russia in September 2024.
