As leaders from France, Cyprus, Germany, US, Russia, and Ukraine drop tape-bombs of turmoil at one another, the following somewhat stunning clip suggests on the ground in Eastern Europe, other - far bigger - bombs are being lobbed...
The somewhat mushroom-cloud-like explosion in Donetsk...

Tochka-u?
Both sides have them
Looks to me like something major was hit.
Like a weapons staging ground.
Think it’s a tactical nuke? If it is, then it’s very small.
I don’t think it is. Looks to me either a weapons staging ground was hit or some time of light MOAB.
Yes they do
Apparently Ukraine hit on Russian weapons.
Conventional warhead.massive but non-nuke.
A couple months ago similar thing happened in Donetsk. As I recall Tochka-u struck Russian ammo dump fired by Ukr forces. Or So reported
I just went to YouTube and entered “Donetsk explosion” and a couple videos came up. But don’t show much more. Fireball of short duration. 30 seconds or less. Sort of looks like “shock and awe” the bombing of Baghdad.
Range about three miles....
Cant believe some lunatic shot THAT into a city full of normal people.
That’s an ammo dump going boom, blame the Russians for their haphazard ammunition storage policies. Although I’m pretty sure that the Russian logistics guys are all dead.
not to mention the EMP generated by such a device, if you have people screaming their cellphones and computers don’t work in a ring around the area..then you should be concerned
My understanding is Ukraine hit a chemical/weapons depot the rebels had controlled.
chemical plant in Kuybyshevsky district that militants used as ammo storage was hit by Ukraine forces.
Also it appears Former fighters of Ukrainian “Berkut” are in Novorossian forces now.
Video from Swiss reporting....on the new battle...seems Ukraine Battalions were sent out without communication equip. fired on each other devastating blows....70 hospitalized and others dead....moral is very low as the battalion commander speaks here....improperly trained soldiers being sent out...( I have heard this often).

And now reports coming out of Russian aircraft attacking Debaltseve. True? False? Who the hell knows. But enough guilt to go around here...
