In the night of July 13, a powerful explosion occurred in Donetsk, which is under the control of occupying forces. The incident took place at an ammunition depot, followed by a prolonged process of shell detonations. Witnesses and local monitoring channels recorded a large-scale fire that brightly illuminated the night sky.
Scale of the incident according to witnesses
According to information published by RBC-Ukraine citing local Telegram channels, a series of explosions is being heard from the scene. Video recordings taken from a safe distance clearly show chaotic flashes and munitions flying through the air. The fire has engulfed a significant area, posing a threat to surrounding facilities.
Lack of official response
At this time, the occupying administration has provided no official comments regarding the incident. Meanwhile, the exact causes of the fire, the specific location of the depot, and the possible consequences of the explosions for the city's infrastructure and population remain unknown.
Context of strikes on infrastructure
This incident is yet another blow to the occupiers' logistical chains. Earlier, on July 1, a strategically important bridge connecting Donetsk and Mariupol was destroyed. Its destruction made direct vehicle movement between the cities impossible, forcing the occupiers to seek complex detours.
In recent days, there has been an increase in activity regarding strikes on occupied territories. Experts note that such attacks cause panic among the occupiers, and the situation in Crimea and other controlled territories is becoming increasingly unstable.
