A Ukrainian drone blew up an ammunition depot in the Russian town of Toropets last week .

Residents are struggling to repair homes and grappling with the shock of what hit them.

In the days before the attack, the small lakeside town of just over 11,000 residents had hosted a sailing competition for teenagers from across Russia .

Pictures captured by satellite imaging company Maxar reveal the scale of destruction near the weapons store.

One woman told Reuters she had been unable to get through by phone to ask for help for her relatives, whose windows had been smashed by the strength of the blast. She said she planned to submit a written request and then wait for an inspection team to visit her family's home. "Judging by everything, it will take a long time," she said.
