Mine event in Krasnodar Krai, Korenovsk area, Russian Federation on Fri 26th December 2025

An explosion struck russian military facility in the city of Korenovsk, Krasnodar Krai, on the morning of December 26, 2025, highlighting growing security vulnerabilities deep inside russia's rear areas. The blast occurred at approximately 07:40 near the entrance to the deployment site of the 47th Missile Brigade of the Armed Forces of russia.

According to available information, the explosion was caused by a mine-explosive device detonating as a military KamAZ truck was entering the base. The vehicle was transporting personnel of the unit and caught fire as a result of the blast, indicating a targeted strike rather than an accidental incident.

Russian servicemen were reported to have suffered casualties in the attack, though the russian side has traditionally avoided providing transparent details regarding losses in such incidents. The location and timing suggest that the strike was carefully planned to hit personnel during routine movement.

The 47th Missile Brigade is part of the 8th Combined Arms Army of russia's Southern Military District and is directly involved in missile strikes against Ukraine.

As Defense Express previously reported, russian state propaganda continues to circulate false claims about the situation along the front line near the city of Rodynske, attempting to portray the settlement as having been captured.

According to Ukrainian reports, these narratives rely on edited footage and manipulative messaging designed to distort the real battlefield situation and mislead both domestic and international audiences.
