Huge explosions have been heard in the Russian city of St Petersburg in a potential Ukrainian drone strike on a weapons warehouse.
The explosions, which could be heard for 30-40 minutes, were captured on doorbell cameras and by people on the ground.
Emergency crews have been seen rushing to the scene, but there has been no official comment from Russian or Ukrainian authorities.
Ukrainian president Volodimir Zelensky has recently called for the Russian people to "feel the effects of the conflict" to increase domestic pressure on Russian President Vladimir Putin.
It comes as Russia looks set to escalate the conflict by deploying as many as 10,000 North Korean troops into the Ukrainian theatre of war.
This is a breaking news story.
