The Ukrainian city of Donetsk experienced a giant explosion last night that left many fearing that Russia was using “tactical nukes” against them. The explosion shattered windows and even caused a brief mushroom cloud to form in the sky. The night’s sky was glowing with orange as the explosion occurred. The entire ordeal was captured on video.
In the video above, you can watch as the explosion occurs late last night. The pitch black sky suddenly is illuminated in an orange glow. The blast was so loud that windows in the area shattered. The Daily Mail notes that some in the area feared that Russian had attacked the area with tactical nuclear weapons as a mushroom cloud lingered in the sky.
Though there is speculation that the blast was a small nuclear weapon, pro-Russian rebels say otherwise. According to reports by the pro-Russian rebels, the huge explosion was caused by an artillery shell hitting a rebel-held chemical plant.

Looks very CAREFULLY at the burst. In the flash, you can see the words: “From Russia with Love-ski” Thereby proving it is both a Russian nuke, and it was detonated over Ukrainian territory, over Ukrainian government forced, in an attempt by rebels to seize Ukrainian land.
I don’t know how anyone can miss that clue.
Who do you think you are Brian Williams?
“the huge explosion was caused by an artillery shell hitting a rebel-held chemical plant.”
Just a Baby Milk factory..... nothing here to look at!!!
“Confirmed”. LOL.
Among all the artillery being lobbed that night it’s plausible that an SS21 was included.
But the explosion as seen on video was a secondary. No way that tiny missile was responsible for a primary blast of that magnitude.
All of the SS-21 parts lying around the deep crater, in the many vids available of it, are probably considered a clue.
Maybe you didn’t read my comment.

Secondary. No way 1000lb HE warhead caused that detonation except via secondary.
I intentionally mock the word ‘confirmed’, not you, as there is so much misinformation on this that it’s almost pathetic. That it was even postulated as being a nuke was completely laughable from one perspective, utter nonsense from another.
You are just guessing.
Rebels on the ground say it was an SS-21.
Kiev claims it was a cigarette butt.
We do know that a similar large explosion last fall at the same site was caused by an SS-21 that Kiev fired at the city.

‘Just guessing’.
Like the camera operators were ‘just guessing’ that ‘something’ was going to be worth starting the video camera for.
‘Just guessing’ that there’s enough even anecdotal evidence out there, let alone experienced field personnel, that could dismiss this as being ‘just’ a 1000lb warhead detonation.
Again, I never wrote that it ‘wasn’t’ an SS21...just that the explosion, as recorded, is NOT ‘only’ an SS21 HE warhead exploding, but a secondary effect.
My original comment could not have been more clear.
Unless others are stipulating that the Ukrainians figured out a way to bypass physics and put a 5-10K warhead on an itty-bitty SS21...
Ha! agreed.
