What the last time large ammunation storage blew up in your country? This kinda things happen relatively of then in Ukraine & Russia. I'd suspect badly designed and maintained facilities.

Ammunition storage explosion happens more likely due to explosives that become unstable due to ageing.
Can happens due to bad manufacturing or contamination of raw materials.

It’s in the story. At least where the Drive heard it.
The Thing is Back in the bad old days of the Cold War a nuclear waste storage facility was built 12Km south of the city. It was to store spent waste from the Russian Nuclear fleet. The Facility caused some radiation spikes in the 1990s because of aging buildings and leaks. The fleet yard also for some time was home to the base Russian Submarine fleet that was not exactly in the best of shape in that same era.
So that Radiation jump could have been anything.

For all my criticism of the adoption of Sukhoi's Okhotnik rather than MiG's (much earlier) Skat, the project does a remarkably good job of embarrassing naysayers. First it performs its maiden flight less than 3 months after widely reported speculation that it wouldn't fly for another year or more. Now the official display model at MAKS 2019 confirms what was known pretty much all along to anybody who bothered to follow the programme closely - the non-VLO axisymmetrical nozzle and other RCS "blunders" are not final:

Nothing. It’s to early to move to those yet.
It’s not even fully skinned. We know what they want it to look like and that’s about it.
The current flying prototype is covered with worts in the form of antenna intakes and other elements that are not very Low observable. They seem to be wanting to smooth a lot of it out.
