That story is the polar opposite of the on video accounts of the dozens of people men women children have told.
No matter. I will post about 60 of those videos tomorrow in a thread here.
A blast rocked a Russian military camp near the border with Ukraine on Tuesday, leading to conflicting reports from Russian media over whether the cause of the explosion was a Ukrainian airstrike.
Local officials reported a series of explosions outside the city of Belgorod, less than 10 miles north of Russia's border with Ukraine, Russian state media reported on Tuesday. Video posted online showed a massive fireball in the night sky at the reported site of the explosion. Some reports indicate an ammunition depot at the military base was the source of the series of explosions.
"A projectile fell on the territory of a military encampment in the Belgorod Region. Four servicemen were injured," an unnamed source told Russian state media outlet Tass.
Tass also reported that "initial data indicates that the projectile was launched from the Ukrainian territory."
Residents of #Russian city of #Belgorod report an explosion near the village of Oktyabrsky. It is about 12 kilometers to the #Ukrainian border.
The governor of Belgorod region, Vyacheslav Gladkov, confirmed information about explosions. He did not specify what exactly happened.
In a Tuesday Facebook post, Ukrainian journalist Yuriy Butusov also said the explosion was the result of a Ukrainian strike on a Russian rocket artillery warehouse. According to the Daily Mail, Butusov said the strike was carried out with an OTR-21 Tochka-U ballistic missile, launched by Ukraine’s 19th missile brigade, though the Ukrainian military has yet to confirm this detail.
Reuters reported Belgorod regional governor Vyacheslav Gladkov said the explosion took place near the village of Krasny Oktyabr, located about 19 miles southwest of Belgorod.
A source within Russian emergency services told Russia’s state-run TASS news agency that a shell landed near a temporary military camp in the Belgorod region on Tuesday, injuring four service members. TASS reported preliminary information indicating the shell was launched in a Ukrainian attack. It was not immediately clear if this strike on the military camp was part of the same explosion seen near Krasny Oktyabr, or a separate incident entirely.

Do you have a link to them offering that before the 7th?
You do know that it is written into the current Ukrainian constitution that Crimea remains a part of the country.
Azov ad publicly stated before that they would kill Zelensky if he gave up those territories.
In which case Azov being annihilated is a good thing for him.
Which part are you having a problem with?
That the Crimea decision would be put off until 2030, or that Ukraine would agree to not take dombas by force?
Or some other detail?

Thank you!
Could also be simple munition mishandling with what we know right now.
My concern is that the munitions depot appears to be within artillery range of one of those two towns Ukraine took back right on russia's border yesterday, and there were overnight rumors of Ukrainian artillery headed that way.
Doesn't sound like an artillery strike from what we know right now.

It was inside russia, but russians haven't exactly been demonstrating effective training & discipline on just about anything.

Ukraine is generally showing high levels of training, discipline and morale in most areas, with a few glaring exceptions, but I didn't intended to imply that they couldn't also have handling accidents, in fact there were unconfirmed reports in the first week of just such an incident.
This facility in question however, was inside russia, manned by russians, who have generally demonstrated the opposite of proper training, discipline and morale in most areas for the past month.
