On the night of January 10, SBU drones and a Neptune missile targeted an ammunition storage facility and reconnaissance drones near the village of Chaltyr in Rostov Oblast. According to UNN's sources , first, the SBU drones "overloaded" Russian air defense, and then the Neptune "visited" the facility. 

 Throughout the night, Russians on social media complained about the sounds of flying drones, Russian air defense, and wrote about a loud explosion - the arrival of the Neptune. Later, they discussed multiple explosions near Chaltyr, indicating secondary detonation of ammunition. 

 "The SBU together with the Ukrainian Navy hit a crucial target - a warehouse with reconnaissance drones that correct enemy attacks on Ukrainian cities and the front line. Now there will be fewer of these Russian "birds" in the sky. The work on military targets in the enemy's rear will continue," said an informed source in the SBU.
