Russian Missile Strikes Khmelnitsky Ammo Depot, Ukraine
The unbelievably huge fireball and ensuing destruction caused by the Russian bombing of the old Soviet era ammunition depots in Khmelnitsky and Pavlohrad, Ukraine make for a stunning reminder of the enormity of what could happen were the significantly larger Cobasna ammo depot to be hit.
Cobasna in the Russian-backed Transnistra region of Moldova is not that far from the Ukrainian border. It is also home to arguably the single largest ammunition depot in Europe. The scary part is that a lot of the ammunition stored there is likely the same age as what went up a couple of days ago in Khmelnitsky and earlier this month in Pavlohrad.
Old and unstable, it will not take much to set off the stuff at Cobasna. And who knows how much damage such a conflagration will bring to both Moldova and Ukraine? Moldova is not a large country. It is also poor and will likely be unable to handle the immediate aftermath of such a major disaster. The Southwestern area of Ukraine could also be severely impacted. Based on their recent behavior I very much doubt that the Kremlin cares much about the thousand or so Russian soldiers based in the garrison at Transnistra and Cobasna.
Be it an errant missile or a deliberate missile attack, the Russians have shown that they have no compunction about engaging in such deviltry. They have sent missiles into Poland(which Poland has wisely downplayed). Are the Russian missile strikes into Poland and this month’s strikes in Khmelnitsky and Pavlohrad foreshadowing what could happen at Cobasna, Moldova?
Europe and the world must prepare for what will be an unbelievable human catastrophe at Cobasna, Moldova.
