The explosions occurred on Christmas Eve.

On Christmas Eve, on the morning of December 24, two explosions went off in the town of Ussuriysk in Russia's Primorsky Krai near a military unit of the 80th Brigade, which is known for its war crimes in Ukraine.

This was reported by RBC-Ukraine citing its own sources in Ukraine's Main Intelligence Directorate.

Sources say the two explosions occurred in the parking lot of military unit 19288 - the 80th Vitebsk Red Banner Command Brigade

At the same time, official Russian sources traditionally avoid details of the incident. In local media reports, the incident is referred to as a "welding machine slamming".

Witnesses publish photos and videos from the scene of the incident in social networks.

The footage shows a significant number of police, FSB and firefighting units. Local residents point out that dozens of law enforcers, including representatives of special services, were involved to eliminate the consequences of the "technical malfunction".

Sources in intelligence note that the occupiers from the 80th control brigade of the Russian Armed Forces took an active part in the aggressive war against Ukraine.

They are known to have committed war crimes, shooting civilians in the temporarily occupied territories, including children.
