Columns of thick black smoke are visible from various parts of the city, according to war correspondent Andrey Tsaplienko on Telegram.
The strike hit the Kyivsky Prospekt area in Donetsk . Released footage shows a massive fire in a warehouse, along with a thick plume of smoke.
After the initial explosion, repeated detonations began at the facility, which could indicate the presence of ammunition or drones there. This warehouse was used to store Russian Geranium-2 drones, which occupation forces use to attack Ukrainian cities.
The strike occurred near Poligraficheskaya Street. The impact created a large cloud of smoke over the area , and the fire quickly spread throughout the facility.
At present, there is no official information from the occupation authorities about the scale of destruction or possible losses.
